general classes would be math and physics and sciences. all schools have certain general education requirements that each student must meet, along with classes specific to your major. it also depends what school you want to go to. if you want more specifics, try calling the registrar’s office at schools you’re looking at and ask if they can send you something with a list of classes you need or a graduation plan.
Take as much math as you can. Math is the foundation for everything you do in computer science.
Yes you can but you may find that the net cost per unit is lower by taking more classes due to fees charged in addition to the unit fee. Eg. Health, parking, student body fee.
Aion ClassesOn the Stanford application, it asks for a recommendation from two teachers in core subject areas. In my case, I will be using a science teacher and a math teacher. So, am I allowed to use my AP CS teacher for the science rec? My school gives us some sort of “technology” credit for taking the class, not science. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!
AP Computer Science is one of the most challenging classes you can take, so I think a recommendation from that teacher would bode very well for you. I'm not sure that it would be considered a true "science," though, and since the class is a bit math-oriented you might be better off asking your history or English teacher to write the second letter of recommendation instead. My instinct says that it would probably be okay, but I'd hate to steer you in the wrong direction. Why don't you call Stanford and ask? I called them with a few questions regarding the arts supplement & they were totally helpful. Their number is: (650) 723-2091.
Their email address is: admission@stanford.edu
Your guidance counselor might know.
Sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive answer. Good luck!!!!
I want to take online classes in computer science but don’t know what branch to focus on. Which is easiest to find a job in and pays a lot?
They all pay well and are equally easy/hard to find jobs in. Much better to focus on what you like.
Thanks
