I made an account just to comment on this link as I have personal experience in the matter.
I graduated from a relatively good school with a degree in Computer Science, yet wasn't admitted into the major until 2 weeks before graduation. I spent my entire college career in Computer Engineering while taking Computer Science courses and (thankfully) was able to complete the curriculum without actually being a part of it. I lucked out as at my school Computer Science isn't locked down like many of the other engineering majors, so anyone can take a CS course as long as they meet the pre-reqs. It would be an understatement to say the experience was harrowing.
