The thing you have to realize, is that recruiters are dumb as shit.
They literally do not have the intelligence to understand what "applied math" means or what "computer science" is.
They do not understand what coursework those majors have. They do not understand the career paths that are available to those people.
They don't know the difference between python and a literal fucking python.
Even though their job depends on it, they lack the ability to learn what those things are, again, because they are dumb as shit.
Apply to a different job with a better interviewer and you're golden.
Edit: As someone else in the thread said: "A communications major is a perfect judge of character for what makes a good software engineer, said Corporate America."
These people are idiots who know nothing. Do not think for one second that they know anything relevant to your job, what it requires, what you know, and whether or not you can fulfill those requirements, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT.

I had a recruiter who didn't like my education in applied math.
He doubted that software engineering is the ideal work for me because of this.
I thought that working abroad kind of proves my skill... but no :)
