Amherst was listed on Princeton Review's list of top Game Design Programs, but amherst.edu doesn't list much information about this major. Can you offer more information about the program and why it was listed among the top 50?

            I go to a distance learning school and I was wondering how I should indicate that difference and its effects on my application. I have worked full time this year (part of an independent study project) which makes my junior year look slightly elongated... Thanks!
