[ul][li] I also helped form my own Game Development team over the summer, made up of individuals from around the world. Together we created a 2D Online Role Playing Game in which at its peak would have 30 players on at any time of the day, including 3 AM Pacific Time. Had to shut down once Summer ended, but we plan to start on a new Project this coming summer. I was responsible for hiring members onto the team, programming for the game and forming the world of the game, and helping with user-admin relations.[/li][/ul]</p>
<p>I think I have everything but GPA. It currently stands as my one real worry, and I want to know if perhaps I am overreacting to it. Much thanks for your help, these last weeks are going to end up very stressful for me.</p>
