Congratulations! WPI is Worcester Polytechnic, right? I'm actually thinking of applying for them...

What courses are you taking?

Okay okay so I go to WPI right now. That's cool that you got in. But what other schools did you apply to?

And are you doing the IMGD major? Because I'd advise against it. Especially if you're doing the art track. As a current IMGD major I'm very dissapointed with the undergraduate program. There are some truly great professors (Britt Snyder, a former industry artist and Brian Moriarty, best known for creating the adventure game Loom) and some really good professors in other departments (Nikitina, Bianchi, etc.) but the majority of the IMGD faculty is... 'eh'.

/rant

Anyways congrats! GIVE 'EM THE GOAT!

Also, avoid the SFS. Too many emails.

I thought about IMGD, but it seemed too new and experimental to try. Thats really interesting though that your in it, I was talking to one of the addmissions dudes a few months ago and he said hardly any people were doing it. Like, only a handful, and one of them is on the TGC boards!

I didnt apply to too many others, WPI was my top choice. I did UMass Boston and Amherst, Wentworth, NorthEastern, and RIT in Rochester NewYork.

Probably for the best. Yeah it's a small program. I'm actually thinking of transferring to Northeastern myself.

What do you plan to major in?
