Default Re: couple questions

No need to worry about technology-oriented courses. Just stick to your path. jaesum is correct about the admission process. Those looking over your application will not know anything about the computer sciences courses you've taken/have not taken. They're solely there to base you on concrete numbers (GPA, SAT scores, class rank). Do not let them get in your way.

As far as languages go, try taking one over at a community college near you? I know that some of my friends did that, and it even got them college credit! (in addition to HS credit, so you might be able to kill two birds with one stone!)

Remember -- Just do well on the SATs, have a decent class rank (to me, this # means nothing about your academic abilities/personality/etc.), and most importantly, a decent GPA. Also, some extra-circular activities won't hurt.

Also, some helpful acronyms:

EE or EEng = electrical engineer or electrical engineering
CoE or Comp. Eng = computer engineering

Good luck,
