I'm rather far down on the poor side of the spectrum, so I am getting my primary credits out of the way at an inexpensive Community College. Luckily this college has a guaranteed admissions agreement with nearly every college in the state. I'll be transferring to the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg Virginia, my hometown. Hope to be a History Professor.---

Since youre from VA and I live there as well, I should warn you against Longwood University. Its a joke and they may tell you that they like you when youre in high school, but the second you become a student there, you disappear and they could care less if you run over by a train. I am currently a student there and it has been a terrible experience from Day 1 with these people. The student isn't terrible, but it isnt great either.
I also was a student at Penn State. Great school, but I didn't enjoy having a class of over 350 students in a Econ class. The professors just don't fucking care at that point. You want a medium sized school. Take it from a pathetic soul like me who has been in the college shit for 8 years now. Ugh. /wrists02.13.08 9:01 pm

I hope to pursue a degree in marine biology, in any college from Delaware to South Carolina that offers it. Interestingly, I could go to Kansas and get a degree in marine biology. You know, like half a nation away from the ocean. Makes perfect sense...
Anyway, that gives me 9 colleges to choose from, and only two of those (both of them in SC) have any kind of a decent religious studies program, which also greatly interests me. Naturally, they're all close to the beach, but I'm not at all interested in partying. So that makes it tough.---

I'm currently attending Compass Film Academy and majoring in Directing, Producing, Screenwriting, and Editing. They only take 20 people a year and the staff is incredible. Classes are from noon to 5, Monday through Friday, and its a blast every second.

I'm a sophomore in computer engineering at a school you've never heard of. :B
If you're looking at photography in NY, check out RIT. Their photography program is supposed to be really awesome and at the level of schools that specialize in art. Because RIT is also an engineering school, they do a lot of stuff on the technical side of photography, too, like with the actual equipment.
SUNY Potsdam, across the river from my school, has a photography program but I don't know about video. semi234 at deviantART just graduated from Potsdam State last year and he's a pretty nice guy, so he'd probably be happy to answer any questions you might have about Potsdam State if you've any interest in it.
G'luck with all that. Applying to schools was a fuckin' nightmare for me. :B02.13.08 9:11 pm -

You know I'd place bets that it's a portfolio school, but grades are ALWAYS ALWAYS a factor for admissions councils.

Hey, man. I just got hold of her today, here's what she said:
"If he's a transfer student, then they're gonna look at grades more...
He definitely needs a strong portfolio and essay.
If he's straight out of high school... I mean, I got in with a 2.4. I had a hard Junior and Senior year. Basically if he can sell himself through the essay he can get in."---

Thanks! That's really helpful, thanks.
And is there a difference between going straight out of high school and after being in the Army for a couple years? I plan to join straight out of high school, then go to college afterwards. Does that impact it at all?04.07.08 3:48 am-
ӝAmras (#17769)
That Guy...
As far as I know from my involvement with RCL offices at different schools, military service isn't a large factor in admissions processes. If anything it'll be the job training you receive during your military service and your ACT scores from your recruitment that admissions counsellors will look at (in addition to portfolio [if applicable], GPA, and test scores).
But this is something you really should discuss with the admissions offices at your school of choice and your recruiter to get more accurate answers.---

I was attending an art school for my BFA in Photography, but I've kind of changed my mind.. photography is something I feel extremely passionate about.. but I'm not sure I want to be poor all my life.
After paying off my student loans, I'd have to pay to upgrade my equipment every few months just so I can land that amazing 25k a year job.
I'm switching majors to Mass Communications, or English.. I can't decide.---

I love photography, and I'd love to do it some to get payed, but it is more of a hobby than anything. I do get to some very unusual places so maybe I can get some stuff sold. But I'm still stuck with my dad's hand-me-down cameras, when he upgrades (he is good enough to professional, just doesn't have enough time to devote to it unfortunately). He's been teaching all he knows though, so I'm learning a bit.---

Gamer In High Heels
I'm goin for majors in Computer Engineering and Game Development/Computer Science. Current goal in life: start up a game company with a friend, make an MMOFPS/RPG and be poor for my life, but happy nonetheless. You know, take away one meal a day for a week so I can upgrade my computer or get some new games? Yea that's the life I'll be living, but with a Computer Engineering degree I'll have a good back up incase things don't work out.
Anyway, anyone know any good schools for both of those. I like Lehigh, despite being able to go to Georgia Tech basically for free. I just like the Lehigh atmosphere better. I need to make a college list soon though, so any ideas are appreciated. Thanks ahead of time!03.02.08 7:34 am-

DigiPen's a good gaming school in Redmond Washington, problem is that there's no campus/dorm setup.
If you have the grades, you want to try either George Washington, Carnege-Mellon, or Cornell for Computer Engineering.03.29.08 4:18 am

I'm pursuing a career in Photography/Videography so I plan on going to some college that majors in either of those two.
Ill probably end up somewhere in New York, there seems to be a lot of colleges there.
What about everyone else?
