How best can I spend a gap semester/year in pursuit of a CS career?
I completed my 1st year at a competitive engineering university where all 1st year students take basic engineering classes and then apply for a specific engineering degree path. I applied for a CS path, but was given EE and ME options (as the CS path is, by far, the most competitive path). My passion is in CS and, unfortunately, the decision comes out after viable transfer deadlines for other universities had passed. If I wish to seek a CS degree, the only option I have at my current school is to take a semester of "core" classes (unrelated to engineering and/or CS) and reapply with a likely low chance of success in being offered a CS path. Rather than waste a semester, I am now considering taking a gap semester/year and then applying to enter a CS degree path at a new university. How best can I use this time to add real world experience and build out my experience in software development (I have been coding for years at this point). Open source coding projects? Finding an in-school-year internship (if such exist)? And, does this "non-linear" path hurt my chance of success in the job market after college?

For college admissions, does going to a uncompetitive high school lessen your chances at a T20 college?
Last year I moved schools after my 9th grade year due to personal reasons. The school that I currently go to was closer to my siblings schools and was more convenient for my parents as they both work. This was not the only reason why I moved school as there were a number of factors but the school that I currently go to is significantly less competitive then my last one. The school I currently go to has around 500 students less than my last. I would also say the student bodies themselves are less competitive in general in my current school. I am just wondering whether or not this will go against me during the college application process and whether moving schools was a mistake.
What types of business/finance extracurriculars should I do to strengthen my college application?
I am currently an incoming junior in high school. I am already in DECA and FBLA (I am also an officer of FBLA at my school chapter) but I feel that my extracurriculars are not strong enough for T20 colleges especially if I want to go into business. I have heard people recommend doing a internship at a local financial institution but I am not too sure where to start. Although I have taken college level business courses I am not too familiar with finance itself and would like to explore. How should I go about this?

Best college program as a double-major undergrad transfer student?
I’m currently a third-year undergrad student, double majoring in Criminology & Film. I currently have 90 out of 120 credits to graduate at my current university but I have to withdraw and find a new school for personal reasons. I'm currently double-majoring in both Criminology and Film. My criminology degree falls under my university's “Justice & Law” degree, criminology being one of the concentrations (“International Terrorism” & “Legal Studies” being the other two). My film major falls under their School of Communication, as a degree in “Film & Media studies”. I was wondering if someone out there could help me find a school with classes most similar to what I’ve been studying already. I'm looking for a school that offers a Bachelor's in both Criminology & Film or something similar. I feel very overhwled! The best case scenario would be to find a school that will let me retake the least amount of courses/credits in order to graduate, since most transfer students are required to take extra courses that extend their graduation date. Any help is appreciated!

Should I pursue higher education without industrial experience?
I am in USA. I do not have work authorization. I graduated in software development in 2016. But, I don't have industrial experience since getting job is impossible due my immigration status. I will hopefully get work authorization in about 5 years. I was thinking of doing masters in Business, computer science or something related to business , finance and technology. The reason I took this decision is to at least prepare myself with higher academic aqualifications since i can not apply for jobs, and therefore after five years I would hopefully in a better position to apply for better job. So, my questions are : Should I pursue in academic qualifications without much work experience? Will this open more job opportunities after 5 years evm though I have limited work experience. If i am wrong in my decision to pursue higer education, what should I do instead to be in better position to get a job in 5 years?
