Digital Media Design at Penn

<p>Hello! I got into Penn as a Digital Media Design major. I know about the major and what it does, and frankly, it’s exactly what I want to do, but I haven’t heard much about it from other people. Does anyone know what kind of reputation this program has, the reputation Penn engineering has in general? I know Wharton is good, but what about engineering/computer science/DMD at Penn?</p>

<p>anyone know? ...</p>

<p>It's difficult to find any rankings for those types of programs, but DMD does have the highest starting salary for any single major at Penn, I think.</p>

<p>Actually, I believe the nursing school has the highest salary, but it's all very relative.</p>

<p>When it comes to DMD, I'll just say that I am a CS major, and the DMD's take many of the rigorous CS classes. The education really is comprehensive, and they seem to really mesh CS/Fine Arts instead of making it a "touchy feely" major as some people think. DMD at Penn is pretty serious stuff, and the people in the progrma are pretty sharp.</p>

<p>Is this program hard to get into? Do you think it is competitive?</p>

<p>it’s quite competitive, yes, given how pixar and dreamworks and the like come to penn for these guys</p>

<p>Any admission advice?? I plan on applying for DMD ED at Penn this year. I have the grades, the extracurriculars, the scores and the passion to be competitive but what do you think you did to set yourself apart?? Any advice would be much appreciated :)</p>
