<p>i'm a sophomore at a conservatory on the east coast, and i'm interested in transferring to a university for next fall. i would like to major in psychology or mathematics. my stats from high school are 800 verbal, 660 math, national merit finalist, 4.9/4.0 (w/u) gpa, a bunch of aps (5 on bc calc and us history as a sophomore) and honors classes at a large southern public school. my ecs were music (orchestra, competitions, summer festivals, etc.), some swimming, and a bit of tutoring.
so far in college, i have a 3.7-3.8 gpa. next semester, i will be taking four academic courses plus all my music courses.<br>
i would like to attend a school with access to musical/cultural events, and i am planning on continuing private lessons and ensemble involvement.</p>
<p>some of the schools i am considering are:
smith (legacy)
brown
georgetown
amherst
barnard
swarthmore
upenn
yale (their music school looks very attractive for grad school)
harvard
bates</p>
<p>i still want to pursue music as a career, but i think a liberal arts education would benefit me in a lot of ways. i really enjoy reading, writing, and learning in general, and i honestly miss it.</p>
<p>it would be wonderful if you guys could suggest some other great schools - preferrably east coast or urban midwest.</p>
<p>thank you so much!</p>
