My dream school is USC but I hear it's very hard to get into. My career goal is Game Design, but if I don't get into USC what other schools have great programs in this field?
I would research these following schools for game design since they all have amazing reputations for CS, AI and other interactive programming majors.
-CMU Carnegie Mellon University
-MIT Massachusetts Inst. of Technology
-NYU New York University
-University of Utah
-RIT Rochester Institute of Technology
-RPI Rochester Polytechnic University
-Georgia Tech
-Cornell University
-UC Santa Cruz
-DIGIPEN Institute of Technology (Washington)
-NorthEastern Boston
-Columbia College Chicago
-UCLA (Game LAB)
