It is interesting. My two theories would be a) people at top schools follow these meta-discussions more and are therefore are more likely to be ahead of trend b) someone who could do comp-sci at Stanford could easily become something like a doctor, but at small schools there's not an obvious second option that's also high earning.
That’s interesting, so maybe - Stanford enrolls say 50k people and lets the chips fall where they may in terms of majors and doesn’t like prescriptively try and recruit x numbers of comp sci majors. — and the chips are falling away from CS.
Or they are recruiting for growth, but as students progress the natural rate of major change is not as biased towards CS.

Haha, wow was I off, but my point was more about the shape of how things get distributed :-)
> This year, enrollment grew by only 0.2 percent nationally, and at many programs, it appears to already be in decline, according to interviews with professors and department chairs.
Curious what is making up the slack, or if people are just choosing not to go to college.

I don’t understand what this means exactly, Stanford must have chosen not to enroll so many comp sci majors right? Like I can’t imagine not enough people applied. Wouldn’t you see trail offs maybe start at small schools, not leading schools?
