<p>Will my junior year be astounding enough for colleges to overlook my sophomore year? And am I even aiming at the right colleges? I'm planning on double-majoring in Computer Science and Visual Communications. Will the majors I am leaning towards lower the competition level? Can you guys recommend great colleges for these majors?</p>
