<p>I am currently a sophomore (junior starting fall) at a California community college. Right now my school declared major is computer science, but I'm starting to have second thoughts. I have taken a basic web design class in high school and at the time I loved it. Last semester I took a visual basic class and didn't enjoy it as much because we basically learned straight out of the textbook (very little help or lecture material). I survived with a B and a whole lot of uncertainty about my major. With my degree I was planning to develop mobile applications. My second choice is in law, to eventually become a prosecutor or judge, I have plenty of criminal law courses under my belt now and also like it. I have a 3.55 gpa and don't have much math classes to support my current major (priority registration is a joke at my school); finally got into pre calculus this fall. Here are my questions, first, should I stick with my current major or consider different options? Second, if I stick with my major and apply at a few Cal-State schools (applying for spring 15' in August) what do you think my chances will be of getting in with a some what weak math course history (due to availability issues)?
Thanks, apologies for the length. </p>
<p>Bump. </p>
<p>I don’t think anyone has an answer to your primary question: do I change majors? The absence of math courses is a concern for someone who has enough credits to be entering their junior year. One college course does not a major make, so I wouldn’t ditch your major plans because of one poor course. You need to figure out what it was about that CS course you didn’t like and if any of it had to do with CS itself and what CS majors do. I cannot recommend pre-law as a major to anyone right now (in fact, it isn’t a major). Law schools are over-enrolled for the hiring demand that is out there. The law just isn’t a very good career right now. Now if you majored in history or english or poli sci you would have similar problems with a career but you wouldn’t be going into law where the writing on the wall is so clear. You still have to take math for the pre-law major, so do that next semester, and also take two CS courses and see how you like them. Best I can do for you now. My pillow calls.</p>
