Their study showed thatfemale computer science majors had lower high school grades, but higher SAT verbal scorescompared to female students in other STEM fields. Additionally, these women often valuedthemselves lower on their academic and leadership abilities and struggled with deciding in clearcareer plans. Research on promoting computer science as a major has frequently explored whattypes of students choose to major in the field. On the other hand, there has been limited exploration into the backgrounds ofinternational students who pursue computer-related majors in the U.S. Zheng
