Sure – she applied to:
RIT, WPI , Georgia Tech, Miami Ohio, Pitt and UT Dallas.
Her top two choices right now are RIT and Miami Ohio – I know those seem like really different schools, lol, but the Emerging Tech/Game Simulation department at Miami Ohio is really appealing, plus they have a full marching band – she’s a hardcore band kid. Although the pep band for hockey at RIT also holds appeal.
She’s always said she wants to be in a city, though – we don’t know much about Pitt and haven’t visited yet, but the city is a big draw, plus the specific major she’s looking at (digital narrative and interactive design). However, the marching band might be too big and no guarantee of getting a spot – which she’d be pretty unhappy about.
Georgia Tech is in-state for us (read: inexpensive and easier to get in!), and they’re launching a new major next fall that aligns with her interests.
I liked WPI a lot for her, but she is less sure.
And UT Dallas is a safety – it would be a full ride with national merit.
