If you've been able to keep up with others solely with the know-how you've picked up on your own in terms of software development, then great; my advice: take as many non-CS classes as possible. After you graduate, you'll spend all of your time in CS - constantly learning. But you'll rarely get a chance to learn anything else. College is where you do it.

Really, I see college as a way to learn how to learn. You've done that with CS, it seems. Now learn how to learn in other areas. You'll probably never get another chance.

During college I hated having to take any non CS class. In hindsight, I'm really glad I had to.
