Some schools that I have heard to be good for those fields are UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, La Verne, etc. These are some of the schools that I am trying to work towards. I am already in a scholarship program that is helping me build it up through their help but we only meet around once a month and I know that I can be doing much more than I am currently.
