-Since the first math class is Calculus, gain a solid foundation in algebra and trigonometry to pass the math entry exam.-If you've never programmed before, you'll want to buy a good C++ book (I recommend Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days 5th Edition) and learn as much of it as you can before starting, otherwise your brain will be very sore for your first few months.
-If money is tight, do all the general ed and math courses (Composition I, Ethics & Psychology, Public Speaking, Interpersonal Communications, etc.) at a cheap community college first, then transfer the credits into Full Sail.
-If you need to work, have a family to care for, or if you're lazy or a slow learner, I recommend doing the "extended" plan, which is half the normal pace (but still faster than regular university).
-If you're not passionate about the field, don't attend Full Sail for it. In fact, don't major in it at all.
