<p>SAT II World History Subject Test: 680 (I'll take the US History Subject Test in June 2015)</p>

<p>AP World History: 5/5 (I'll also be taking the US History & English AP Exam)</p>

<p>Try to bring your SAT score up to 2000 and write good essays, and I think your chances would be pretty good. Your GPA is the weak link in your statistical profile.</p>

<p>Thank you for the feedback Ghostt. My goal for my next SAT and ACT will be 2000+ and 30+, respectively.</p>

<p>Since test scores + rank + GPA together account for only 20% of Reed admission criteria, I find it hard to say other than 50/50 when the numbers are in range.</p>

<p>Honestly, I highly doubt that is true.</p>
