Hi, I am interested in computer science, and I don’t know what type of people get accepted. Are there any recommendations for what classes to take, extracurriculars to do, competitions to participate in, award to win, things to do over the summer, etc? I am interested in USACO and USAPHO, but I have not started preparing for either of them. I am also trying to do research with a professor over the summer. I don’t know how to differentiate myself from other applicants, especially since I am in the Bay Area. Any advice is appreciated.
