<p>This thread isn't for me, but instead for my little brother. I went through the college search process on my own because we are first gen, so I want to help him get a good head start.</p>
<p>He's going to be a junior this year, and hasn't taken the SAT yet, so unfortunately I can't offer scores. He has had straight A's all thoughout high school, but unfortunately, no extracurriculars to speak of. (He's planning on getting more involved next year, and he's working this summer and is searching for part-time employment after his summer job ends.)</p>
<p>Now, his one and only true passion is gaming. Ideally, he'd love to pursue a career in game design, or something otherwise integrally related to gaming, because it's the one thing he really does enjoy. He's an intelligent kid (though not a prodigy), but he's pretty good with math and science. My one big concern is that he doesn't really seem to express any real interest in art, and I've got no clue how important that is to that field.</p>
<p>An ideal school would be Rochester Institute of Technology because it offers his major and is in-state so he'd be able to utilize TAP grants, but unless he could manage to get the full presidential scholarship there (which probably isn't incredibly likely), it just most likely would not be financially feasible (because we have an EFC of 0). </p>
<p>I've looked into in-state publics, but from what I saw, none offered a game design major. </p>
<p>For the record, he took AP European this year (4 on the exam), and next year will be taking college-level spanish class (through the local CC), AP Chemistry and AP US History. No clue about senior year, though I would suspect he will take AP Bio, AP Gov, AP English, and maybe AP Calc or Stat if he is feeling particularly ambitious, this being the typical AP track at my school.</p>
<p>Really, at this point, I'm just looking for a little direction to help put my little brother on the right track. Any suggestions for schools or alternate majors that might fit our situation?</p>
