So I'm currently a freshman and I am considering applying to Columbia's 3-Week Summer Emersion Program, specifically to their Computer Science courses but the application states that I should "describe any preparation I have, academic or otherwise, for the course option(s) for which I am applying". It also states that Computer Science applicants should " specify which computer programming languages they are already familiar with and to what extent." Although I am strong academically, and I am particularly strong in mathematics and science, I don't have any experience with computer programming yet (though I am learning some basics online but I wouldn't consider this anything formal by any means.) Regardless, I am passionate about Computer Science and it is a field I would very much aspire to pursue but, I don't exactly know how to go about my application without experience. Thoughts?
