<p>I am a professional Halo 3 player, me and my teammates have attended three major league gaming events and have won them all! I wanted to know what schools are offering competitive gaming scholarships and which programs are the best! Thanks fellow gamers!</p>
<p>I think David Watts gave you some good advice on another thread. </p>
<p>You should probably follow it. I’m pretty sure if you want to win a gaming scholarship you have to win on your own anyway, pretty sure that ain’t happening for you.</p>
<p>Are you serious? Unless you can throw an 80 yard pass, run a 100m sprint sub-eleven, hit a 6 minute erg time for a 2k, etc., you are at the wrong thread.</p>
<p>College admissions are generally frightened of obsessed gamers, who easliy morph into obsessed gamer-dropouts once they taste the freedoms of college.</p>
<p>fauve, I think spootime had to go to the principal’s office.</p>
<p>hey guys thanks for replies. And also i am team captain of gaming squad just so u know so that shows leadership. so wat colleges give scholarships? no 1 answered. I can play madden 2 thanks guys</p>
<p>spoo, I think you might as well go straight to the Armed Forces, to tell you the truth.</p>
<p>Edit: well, if they will have you.</p>
<p>hahahahahahaha</p>
<p>My officemate’s 30-yr old son is a professional gamer, and he still lives at home…</p>
<p>BFloGal, is that to save money because he couldn’t get a gaming scholarship?</p>
<p>It’s been mentioned that the eye-hand coordination learned in gaming is highly desirable by the Armed Forces.</p>
<p>I truly hope this was a tongue-in-cheek post request. If not, maybe we can provide virtual scholarships for your virtual athletic world. </p>
<p>I do know that several large colleges and universities (that I do business with) host gaming tournaments. Gaming like anything, can be good & fun in moderation. The colleges end goal is to lure academic talent not athletic for a soon to be declining college population. </p>
<p>FYI - Athletic talent is where you use your body to perform athletics feats based upon strength, skill, endurance and power. For example it is far harder to hit a 92 mph fastball in the real world than on a console with a joystick. If you don’t believe me, give it a try, and step into that batter’s box! ;)</p>
<p>Hi Folks
As you all know, this OP is a ■■■■■ and asked the people on the Duke forum if an “attempted” sexual assault would hurt addmittance…
so even more than “tongue in cheek” its more like …
uh…you get the point</p>
<p>Imagine what kind of “stellar” grades this person earns or those captivating essays…:rolleyes:</p>
<p>spoo…check out High Point University in North Carolina. The campus is absolutely gorgeous…basically brand new. I do believe they have majors that specialize in gaming; my son’s teammate is there and he is a big-time gamer. I don’t know if they have scholarships specifically for being good at gaming, but it’s worth looking into. </p>
<p>To the rest of you who replied…I’m not being facetious. I really do suggest the OP check out this school. I know his request sounds ludicrous, but this is an interest for some people. Most certainly, it is NOT recognized by the NCAA!</p>
<p>^^^^^@wilberry-- nope, it’s because he has absolutely no goals in life other than to play video games, and has no income to speak of. But you already surmised that, I’m sure. ;)</p>
<p>Well that is not true actually. I am currently employed by Burger King. Thank you for the High Point university suggestion I will contact their athletic director with a highlight film.</p>
<p>Also, my essays are very good! Two of my friends have read them and they both said that they are good. </p>
<p>Seems like people take this college thing way too seriously.</p>
<p>^^Ummm…it is NOT a sport. I would not contact the AD.</p>
<p>Hahaha gaming as a sport…</p>
<p>Well, I have different view. </p>
<p>Last year when I was helping my son to apply colleges. I was really thinking about asking him put gaming as EC. It does. It needs a lot efforts, skill and time. Scholarship? not yet but EC, maybe?</p>
<p>To win the tournament isn’t a easy task at all. So OP does have talent. Good luck and let me know? </p>
<p>OP , DS doesn’t bring his computer, that he built specif for gaming, to the school because no time and don’t want to be tempted. Gaming is not recognized by outside world as talent yet. sorry!</p>
<p>I have a 360, I play on Live often. But it’s no talent.</p>
<p>My son always played some flight game growing up (I forget what is was). He attend Embry Riddle and they use a very similar system for flight training…so this helped him. He was in no way a “big time gamer”. I think that tends to distract, and thereby detract, from one’s studies.</p>
