<p>That said, I have some 'splaining to do. I was in Chemistry Honors for the majority of sophomore year, but had to move down a level to ease the transition back to school. Earlier in the year–from October to March, actually–I developed severe depression and anxiety, to the point that I couldn’t go to school without getting a panic attack. I currently have a diagnosis with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, as well as a 504 plan. Recently, depression struck again and I needed to drop Physics Honors. This summer, I intend to take college physics at the local uni to make it up. If need be, I may double up and take AP Bio as well next year, possibly dropping AP Euro? Not sure.</p>
<p>I don’t have much depth in my extracurriculars–not yet, at least–because my social anxiety was severe up until recently. This year I’m trying to make up for it. Dunno how much it’ll help, but I suppose it’s better than nothing!</p>
<p>Now, about the college! Some requirements:
- North of the Mason-Dixon Line.
- Good department in the sciences, but also strength in the liberal arts
- I’m not looking specifically for an LAC, but a place with the atmosphere of one would be nice
- Study abroad program in France (?)
- < 10,000 undergrads
- Suburban or rural setting–not necessary, though
- Co-ed</p>
<p>What universities should I look into?</p>
