Question about majors

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>I'm a Junior now and I've recently been thinking about what to major in college and have came up with two: Electrical Engineering or Computer Science. I took APCS in 10th grade and got a 4 on it because I ended up cramming for it (probably could have gotten a 5) since I was focused more on AP Physics B (got a 5) and AP Calc AB (got a 5). I'm fine with EE, but I do enjoy CS a lot more. Would it look bad if I applied as a CS major next year but got a 4 on the AP exam?</p>

<p>List of APs I took up till now:
- Physics B (5)
- Calc AB (5)
- APCS (4)
- Chinese (5)
- World History (5)</p>

<p>List of APs I am taking now:
- US History
- Physics C
- Calc BC
- Statistics</p>

<p>I’m sure it would look OK. 4 isn’t a bad score. If it bothers you, though, couldn’t you retake it along with your current AP exams? If you already know the content, you should be OK. (Though your list of APs looks challenging already.)</p>

<p>Maybe look into programming or robotics/circuit building in your free time, if you’re interested in EECS? You could take a look at discrete math if you’re more mathematics-based. Just some things you could write on your application.</p>
