Got into Becker College for Game Development, gaming is what I've always done, and what I do best, so why not turn it into a career Woot! Another game developer  I remember seeing Becker College at a booth while I was at PAX East I believe. Are you studying to be an artist or something else?
Looking towards the programming end of it, seeing as I've never been the greatest artist :x..
I might dual major with Game Design as well because when I was looking at the classes you take for Development and Design, they both had a lot of the same classes.
Taking AP CS and am not finding it too difficult atm, and once I start in college I'll start taking my classes very seriously.
oh and Development = programming/////Design = Art

Jesus christ, my grades and SAT scores are mediocre compared to you guys. So many Californians too, wonder how my life would have been if I didn't move to VA. Well I got into George Mason and probably gonna go there since I don't like James Madison that much and I didn't apply to Vtech

If I got rejected from UC Berkeley do I have no chance of getting into University of Pennsylvania? I applied as an engineering major if that makes a difference since UCB's engineering might be more competitive than Penn's engineering program

George Mason is a pretty good school man. I didn't apply there though just because I lived 20 minutes away and wanted to get out of the state (away from parents  )
Man applying to schools was quite the experience 2 years ago. Almost ended up going to Eckerd College in Florida (great small liberal arts school although pretty easy to get into) instead went with my 2nd choice Quinnipiac University since I got deferred from first choice U. of Vermont.
Any TLers at QU? I doubt it... Its a pretty good school and I'm enjoying their small Comp. Sci. program. Really up and coming.

Haha saw this thread, was like cool I'll post my schools and stuff. Saw OP's stats and id rather just crawl back into my hole. Congrats though .
EDIT: To post above me, I live pretty close to Quinnipiac, welcome to CT

Wow nice job guys, a lot of impressive people from what I saw in this thread!
Suny Plattsburgh for Global supply chain management here :o

Looking at you guys, I feel stupid. Its probably the product of me being lazy, but:
SAT: 1970
GPA: 4.68
ACT: 30
Applied to:
Florida State (accepted)
University of Florida (accepted, attending)
I am mostly going for electrical engineering, maybe a language or programming double major as well. I only applied here because of in-state tuition and scholarships as well.
