Good chances at a private than a public. The private schools really appreciate the interdisciplinary skillset and the writing skills and recognition. Broaden your pitch by talking about art rather than keeping it narrowly focused on graphic design. Talk about digital art if that makes sense given your portfolio. Submit a portfolio if you have one. Brown is an interesting choice to consider, especially if you are ok to ED into them. Because they have a joint program with RISD. They would appreciate the mix even if you don’t apply into the joint program. Places like Princeton are not that graphic design friendly. CMU CS is hard core. You may not appreciate it, and the department is fenced off from the rest of the university – so you won’t have as easy an opportunity to dabble in art and CS simultaneously. This dabbling in two separate things is generally difficult at public schools. I suspect Yale may be friendly, but Yale is quite weak for CS.
