Pixar - where to go for college?!!

Hey guys,

It's always been a childhood dream of mine to go into Pixar, but now that I understand how hard it is to actually achieve that dream...I need some advice on which college to go to in order to increase my chance of getting closer to that dream.

I got accepted into both Parsons and Ringling for animation, and a pending reply from CCA. I thought Ringling would be THE school to go to for animations...but the 3D world mag rankings for computer animation programs is already a few years old...and it doesnt seem that like they'll be releasing another ranking soon. But anyways, my dad asked around and all his computer graphic/animation friends has apparently never heard of Ringling but they've all heard of Parsons?

Is it better to go to a better know school like Parsons and major in their not so famous program or go to Ringling and school that not a lot of people has heard about? :confused:

Please help! I've only got another week left before I've got to get the replies back to the schools!

Schools

I know Ringling Grads that currently work at Dreamworks Animation. All of the schools you listed are good schools, however schools can only do so much. It always comes down to sheer talent, practice, and personal study. Also look into Gnomon and Animation Mentor.
