And here i thought the goal of SICP was to scare off folks who were getting into CS because it was trendy rather than because they enjoyed it...
Seriously, it was a really valuable foundational course. But 100% it scared some folks to other majors.
With a 50% fail rate, I think the standard course load does a very good job of that anyway.
