<p>I seek to either transfer schools or make otherwise radical life changes. I'll start off with a by describing myself. I am an intelligent, energetic, and tolerant individual from a multicultural background. I performed very well in high school, earning the National Achievement award, AP Scholar award, a 5.3 GPA on 5.0 scale, starred in school musicals, sang solos in all-state choir. I also completed 14 college credits through pre-college programs at Upenn and Harvard during the summers before my junior and senior years. After all this, I gained entry into Prestigious Liberal Arts College.</p>
<pre><code> Now I have completed my sophomore year at Prestigious Liberal Arts College, and my GPA is a 2.66. My grades were A's and B's with the exception of an F in Economics, and a D in Film History. I have also withdrawn from four classes. My courses ran the gambit of French literature, South Indian Music, Calculus, and Mandarin Chinese. The Chinese is what I'm most proud of and I recently ranked second in the advanced category of a Chinese speech and talent competition sponsored by Umass Boston.

<p>I have suffered greatly with depression since my junior year of high school, which worsened during college. I am currently taking time off and taking classes at Umass Boston.</p>
<pre><code> Now I am feeling much more stable, and am contemplating my next step. I have considered going back to Prestigious Liberal Arts College, but I feel like that college's environment might not be the best for me, alongside steep tuition and fees. My mother suggests that I try transferring into one of the Umass schools full-time, but I am vehemently against this.
I want to transfer to Bard College, because of their extraordinary conservatory program. I also want to study in China. I am looking for suggestions for schools with good voice programs, with the dual degree option for foreign language. Also, I am looking for programs in China for the summer 2012/fall 2012. I have also considered teaching English in China for some time before going back to college. Any suggestions for any of these things?
