Carnegie Mellon Pre-College

My son was just accepted into the National High School Game Academy at Carnegie Mellon. I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with the program and summer life at CMU. Also, how helpful are these programs with admissions?

My son attended and loved the program last summer. They worked hard and he made a core group of friends that has kept in touch and continued to work on games. He just received acceptance to class of 2021

I was also accepted to CMU’s NHSGA. I am really excited and it looks like a really amazing program. Hope I see your son there as well!

@kspn11 - So happy to hear that he loved the program! And major congratulations on his acceptance into the class of 2021!!!

@COCEOTI2000 - Great to find another student that will be taking part in the NHSGA program. What state are you coming from? My son will be in the Art side of Game Design and is coming from NYC.

Hi did you guys get in via the regular (paid) way or via diversity way?
