One caveat: I don’t know how the transfer application is different from the regular application. I think your ECs and recommendations are quite important. Delineate them as Smith looks at the GPA but they also look at everything else. If you want to write about your classes where you didn’t receive stellar grades, I’d talk about what you have learned about yourself as a student–your strengths and weaknesses–knowledge which you can apply in the future. I think it’s really important to emphasize what experience you are looking for from Smith, other than a more supportive financial picture.
