<p>pyewacket: I'm interested in transferring for some other reasons too -resources, etc. And anyway, my high school was more challenging and had more academically capable students than Smith, so now college feels like a little of a downer. Maybe it's poor reasoning from the getting-recommendations-for-grad-school perspective, but I feel like I'd learn more at a college where there were somewhat more people on my level and professors coupld ask more of students... My hope is if I transfer somewhere I can still do well (e.g. Bowdoin), two years won't be too few to get good grad school recommendations.</p>
