<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm an undergraduate student from Mexico, taking honors baccalaureate at TEC highschool, a reputable latinoamerican institute.</p>
<p>Initially, I intended to study Digital Animation here a TEC but since the course here is very new (around 2 years old) I preferred to try international options. I know there's plenty of art institutes to go around in the states, but I can't afford to get into the top-notch (or just commercial) colleges like Full Sail. </p>
<p>While still in Highschool, I've taken some online courses, intending to get into a gnomon workshop course soonish. My focus is but is not limited to Game design, Animation and Digital Art, and I suppose around there somewhere creative writing. My grades aren't exceptional, though I suppose I do better than most and my english is acceptable, plus I've got an artsy reputation around. </p>
<p>I'm still missing a year in Highschool (over here we've got three) though I studied abroad for a year in Ireland and they didn't validate it when I came back here for whatever reason (maybe they'll take that into account and speed my admission process...maybe) </p>
<p>I'm not entirely sure how much my father intends to invest in me, though his limits shouldn't exceed 50 k a year. I've read good things about Ringling, SAA, among other highschools, though I was wondering if you guys could provide a different opinion...how are the art institutes? </p>
<p>Also, I would like to kow if any of you know good schools around these areas:
Missouri (Colombia), Texas, Chicago and Oklahoma.
I'm not gonna be picky with opinions, though it'd be appreciated if you could inform me about those areas (since they're the most accessable)</p>
