Remember that its purpose is just to get interviews.2. If you have your foot in the door, the most important thing is ability. Material you actual learn in your courses, regardless of major, is what counts.3. If you go straight into a degree, I don't think it matters what your major is; admissions committees have the ability to look past the name of the degree earned to see the material actually covered.4. C has similar syntax with C++, but you should regard it as a historical curiosity.I won't answer your questions directly, but I think you should evaluate them with (the first three) points I gave in mind.</blockquote>
