Transfer from RISD to LAC

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>hey,
I am currently a Freshman at the Rhode Island School of Design and I was wondering if anyone out there could help me out.
When I was in high school I loved art, but I also loved academics. When my acceptance letters arrived I was having a tough time deciding between RISD and Carnegie Mellon, and i chose RISD.
However, now that I am here I am having second thoughts about whether or not I truly want to ONLY focus on art...
I really love academics as well as sports and the potential for socialization (greek life etc)</p>

<p>In high school i received 2 national french awards
a SAT score in the high 1900's
US history Ap-4
English Comp and Lit AP-4</p>

<p>Chinese SAT 2 with listening-670
Mathematics level 1- 690
US history-690</p>

<p>won 7 awards from the Scholastic art and writing competition
2 awards from Syracuse University's sponsored Shaped Clay awards</p>

<p>AP Scholar in 2007</p>

<p>a 3.0 and above average</p>

<p>ExtraCurr.
I worked at the National Gallery of Art and Corcoran Gallery of Art (regularly in high school)
Held one retail job this past summer
Reconstruction work in New Orleans
Student Government-yearbook and social chair(2 years)
Varsity Lacrosse</p>

<p>I am interested in a school that has a strong art or architecture program, so any advice/suggestions would be great!
I am currently interested in maybe UVA, Cornell, Brown?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Can't you cross enroll at Brown?</p>

<p>Since RISD's course load is very intensive and RISD and Brown have different marking systems, it is very difficult to cross enroll.
I just really want to go to a school where I can do both art and academics, and actually belong to that singular school.
Thanks for the suggestion though.</p>
