ETC@CMU or CGGT@UPenn

<p>I have been accepted by both of them.
Both of them are in Pennsylvania, and both of them are expensive to me(but still affordable). It seems that CMU is even more expensive than UPenn.
I am an undergraduate student in a foreign country, majored in Computer Sciense. I am interested in animation film making. My dream is to star my own animation company with my classmates.</p>

<p>UPenn is one of the Ivy League (most people in our country know UPenn);
CMU is one of the top shool in the field of Computer Sciense (but less people know CMU in our country).
Also, ETC is a project based program, while CGGT is course based. I tend to like the former mode, but I have never studied in this way so I don't know if I can handle it.</p>

<p>Actually, both of them are attractive to me. It is really hard for me to choose from them.
Is there anyone familiar with these two programs?</p>

<p>I would like to hear your opinion on where I should go. Please give detailed reasons.
Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Hi lgthetyro,</p>

<p>I too have the same ambition. It is so difficult to meet a person of the same kind in forums.
I too need guidance regarding the same. Going to take GRE in 2 months. But I am kind of confused with the courses and universities. Please mention your GRE score and your study background.</p>
