<p>Im thinking about majoring in computer science, im still a high schooler, but im pretty proficient at Java, familiar with HTML and CSS, and learning python. Is it too late for me to decide to pursue a career in computer science? Ive heard that the competition is quite fierce, which I didnt expect.</p>
<p>No. You’re in high school. Plenty of people take their first CS class. In fact, you are at a pretty good level of programming already.</p>
<p>Random fact: for Stanford’s class of 2011, the CS major with the highest CS GPA did not do ANY programming before college (at least that’s what the department commencement speaker said).</p>
<p>Entry level courses start at the basics, like how recursion and iteration works. You should have no problems. In fact, you’re probably ahead of some incoming freshmen.</p>
