Oh don't complain. You're not a woman. You think women get special consideration? On the contrary, if we are rarely raised into a family that thinks we should do STEM (in any culture including asian IMHO asian women at my engineering school has some of the most physically and emotionally violently abusive mother's as in literally hospital visits with bruises post Christmas vacations) but that's if you're lucky enough to be a rich asian women, if you are unfortunate enough to be a white woman you will just get berates for being given a free pass even if you made straight As perfect sat scores and worked hard and made good grades in college.
The fact that you had the luxury to know about theoretical Compsci topics before applying to college might have given you away to a preprepped college student whose parents paid thousands of dollars to help them prep to the SAT and I hate to break it to you but those kids are unfortunately far too common these days.
Perhaps they differentiating yourself with something that doesnt scream: " there is no way in hell I would have been exposed to this if my parents weren't rich"
