@PikachuRocks15 Thank you so much for the info about the Questbridge program! I’ll go ahead and apply for that.
@ucbalumnus My dad works for a startup. (That’s why we are in Santa Clara even though we are a low income household, my dad got a job with employee housing as a part of the benefits.) I really like startups, I had an internship at one this last summer but my dream goal is to shoot for a large tech company. I have a big interest in large codebases and huge games. I guess that makes sense about why Stanford is the top CS program in the West coast.
@Gumbymom I’ll consider Cal Poly San Luiz Obispo and UCI. I applied to the CS program at USC with a minor in game programming. We’ll see how that goes…
