<p>First semester last year at Smith: 3.6. Second semester: 3.1 (I had mono), for a total of 3.35. I am taking the semester off and working and then going back to Smith in the spring. SAT: 1480 I'd be applying to Oberlin in March, and I'm confident Oberlin would be a great fit and I could emphasize that in my app. So what do you think? 3.35 at Smith for one year with heavy courseload and mono, then semester off. With great essays and recommendations, would I get in as transfer?</p>
