<p>okay, you want "honest" -- your shotgun approach is irritating. Do some research, narrow your scope, then ask meaningful questions. We get it that you're bright and ambitious. You apparently haven't decided who you are. Stop, breathe, think. Then ask.</p>

<p>My guess is that your essays will be the deciding factor, with interview also significant. Fit is really important at Reed, an unusual school, and you don't seem especially unusual. Make sure you know <em>why</em> you want to go to Reed. You can tell from <a href="http://web.reed.edu/ir/admission.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://web.reed.edu/ir/admission.html&lt;/a> how your numbers add up.</p>
