you were almost right with the numbers. They allowed 120 people. That number as you said is divided by 2, 60 per study. They ought to loose 50% of the participants in the first year, atleast, thats what their goal is :X
You might say, oh cool, they'll just kick the guys who read the part of the name where it said 'game' and thought they could 'design their own game' ( ). But unfortunately, those guys didn't even made it through the first round of selection, and there were 3 rounds of selection, ending with a modelling or programming assignment.
So the point is, ive got to give 200% here, cause youre there with 59 other guys, who know their stuff, and i definately dont want to be part of the 50% that drops out.

Just for showing that these guys want to have 5 uber modellers and 5 uber programmers at the end of year 4 :P But i expect it to be very cool, and to learn alot, since the teachers are actual gamedevs themselves. For example, the take-in procedure involved a presentation of yourself, and a chat with 2 teachers. One was an actual concept artist working at a company i cant recall, and he's going to teach drawing classes. If you only see the books list, its amazing, everything you expect to be is there, even a human anatomical reference book.

Did i forget to say the majority of the classes is given in English, since its an International school? That is a great addition to your cv!

Plus in the end, if you cant find yourself a job in the gaming industrie, go with entertainment, or architectural bureaus, or animations for commercials on tv, whatsoever.
