<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I'm currently a freshman at Boston University's College of Fine Arts, and my tentative major is painting/art education. I'm realizing now that it's not enough of a challenge for me, and I'm not learning as much as I could be. I feel like I'm not growing enough as an artist, so I'm thinking about transferring.</p>
<p>I have always been interested in medical illustration as a career and possible major. I'm looking at Cleveland Institute of Art and RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) as two potential schools. My portfolio has already been accepted at RIT from a portfolio review about a year ago.</p>
<p>My questions are as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Would my foundation credits transfer? I've taken Art History 1 and 2, Painting 1, Drawing 1 and Sculpture 1, along with the University writing course and a few electives.</p></li>
<li><p>Is medical illustration a solid career choice? Would I be able to work in forensic labs or hospitals?</p></li>
<li><p>How are the programs at CIA and RIT? Are they respected in the 'real world'?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks so much!!</p>
