  1. Hi, so I plan on taking a double major in Computer Science and Computer Game Science. In your opinion, in terms of graduate school, is this a good idea? Ultimately, i DO envision myself going to grad school, and, combined with research projects on campus, I'm just worried that either my GPA or research is gonna get hurt. And, just for added info, I wanna take CGS because I'm genuinely interested in that as well, and not for the sake of having a double major :] For anyone who's taken a double major and done serious research, did you manage alright, or did you wish you did something else? Thanks!
  2. Hi, I'm going to UCI this year for CS, and I was wondering how I would approach research experience. So far, here's my plan :] I know, plans almost always never work out D: After first year, find a professor that I liked and ask to work with him/her for my honors thesis/research till 4th year. Get into CS honors program for junior year and work with a different professor till 4th year, as UCI recommends 2 different research projects if you're campuswide honors and school-specific honors. Apply for REU/SULI/SURF for summers between sophomore and junior year and junior and senior year. However, I'm unsure about a couple of things and would love if you could help me out 1. Is research after the first year too early? 2. Is it possible to maintain a high GPA with 2 research thingies? 3. What's the difference between an REU, SULI, and a SURF, and which is most valued for grad school admission (to a top 10 school)? 4. Is it possible, or better to go to the "same" REU/SULI/SURF for 2 summers to strengthen relationships rather than to have 2 "weaker" ones? 5. Should the research areas that I go into be consistent for both research projects, and both summer research programs? 6. Kinda offtopic, but how important are fellowships/academic awards for admission? Sorry, I know it's a lot of questions, but thanks! :]
