I've applied to the CS dept at the University of Washington and am still waiting to hear if I've been accepted. My question is, what should I be doing now, during the summer months before I hopefully...

Before this, I had a year at a small university that didn't go well at all, for a variety of reasons (distance from home, underest...
I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Computer Science at NYU. Job postings almost always call for a B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science (or at least recommend it). For example, Google claims to require at least a B.S. to be eligible for one of its Software Engineering jobs. I feel like the B.S./B.A. distinction is an arbitra...
