After High School, all that I knew was that I wanted to work with computers. After 2 years of being a Computer Systems Engineer major at an Arkansas University, I stumbled upon an ad in our school paper that talked about DigiPen. I must have read those 2 paragraphs over and over like 100 times. I made up a little programming protfolio of what I had done so far, got 2 letters of recommendation, and sent it all in with my Application(See ya' later Arkansas!). After bugging Jason Chu(the administrator at the time) and Rebecca Dunn(The Coolest Secretary/Student Personnel throughout the known Universe) every weekend for a month, I finally got my acceptance letter!

So are you interested in going to DigiPen as a student? Well, if you are, it is a challenging and rewarding endeavor. But before you apply and show up blindly, I suggest that you get a taste of what programming is like. If you try writing a few programs and you don't think that you could do it on a daily basis for many hours at a time, then you shouldn't come here to make video games, because it takes a lot of programming time and dedication not to mention a full course-load! If you are still interested, then I hope you get accepted, because it is one of the coolest experiences ever. I mean, how often can you go around saying I go to Video Game School? This is pretty much the place to be.
