<p>I'll be a sophomore at Smith College in the fall. I had an awful first year, mostly due to my personal dealings with depression and anxiety, which have not gone away. I was on meds throughout the school year and saw a therapist for most of it but they didn't help much. My medication has been adjusted with a psychiatrist this summer but I'm still waiting to see results. I was very lonely and socially bored while at school, in addition to having a very depressed roommate who rarely left the room. I finished the year with a 3.0 - I was earning mostly straight As throughout the 2nd semester until finals rolled around. </p>
<p>I think I'd prefer being at a co-ed school in a larger town or city. I've considered Wesleyan since I have two good friends there, but I'm just worried that I don't have the grades to be accepted as a transfer there or at an equally excellent (academically) school. I'm not sure if I should try to improve my GPA / see if I can manage to be happier there this semester, or do something else...(I don't know what). Any gap-semester/year suggestions ? My parents know my conundrum but don't know what to tell me. I would really appreciate some advice.</p>
