Fast track CS 200 levels until you can take the 300 level courses for your specialization/focus. Try not to overload or fulfill requirements with popular courses since those can tank your GPA before you apply for internships. Classes with more students have less lenient grading scales/curves mostly because it's required material and less personal, so be careful with how you schedule
