taken computer programming - freshman, comp sci A - sophomore - 5 in AP, comp sci B - Junior, next year… probably a course called advance topics in comp sci
rec from counselor - should be good since we use that family connection thing if u know what that is
rec from comp sci teacher - should be good; former ESL bilingual teacher - she loves me, she said that I am by far one of her best ESL student she had ever had. </p>
<p>so my question is: should I make my first choice SAMS or game academy which focuses on programming? Im not applying to that AP thing after seeing ppl who apply with a SAT score of 2200…</p>
<p>thx a lot!</p>
<p>bump…
ppl plz help!!!</p>
<p>You did not mention what math or science classes you have taken or which will be taken next year. Have you taken Physics? Will SAT prep be very useful to you or do you think you can study SAT on your own? You probably can’t go wrong with either one but it is clear from what you said that programming is one of your passion. With that, you will really enjoy game programming, but at a cost of being a little less prepared for next year classes. If you have done well in previous math and science classes and you think that extra prep will not really boost your readiness that much then definitely go for game programming. Reading the description and assuming you are already good at math and science, I tend to think game programming is better for you.</p>
<p>alright thx!
and btw, which is do i get a better chance of being admitted?</p>
<p>oh and I don’t really have any math and science awards and “accomplishments”, so will it be easier for me to apply to game academy?</p>
