Yeah, the educational commitment is definitely much higher. I just mean they don't expect you to have put hundreds of evenings, Saturdays, and Summer afternoons into wholly-self-motivated learning about the field by the time you're 18, or else have a very rough first couple years.

No, instead it's unrelated to the field so you can grind fractions of GPAs against other applicants. At least, CS is kind enough to let everyone try the real thing.
