<p>My passion is writing and I tried to show that on my application...it was emphasized in my essay and in my teacher recs, too.
Someone chance me please...I really want to get into Reed!!!</p>
<p>Your GPA and test scores are a "match" for Reed. (average ACT range at Reed is 28 to 31, average GPA is 3.8 weighted).</p>
<p>My guess is this and your great ECs should get you in.</p>
<p>Best of success.</p>
<p>Better than mine (I officially finished my application today, too!) <em>g</em> Our numbers are pretty similar but you have a much stronger set of ECs than I do XD I'm the type of person who focuses intently on one thing and just OBSESSES over it to no end. It's the story of my life, unfortunately ahaha.</p>
<p>I think you stand a good chance :D GL :)</p>
<p>You're up kind of late there in Libertyville, Illinois, Joycelene.</p>
<p>Best of luck with your application to Reed also.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses...I was a little worried about my numbers. I'm hoping the admissions offices won't count my small-school status against me - there weren't any clubs I could get involved in (and no one wanted to make a debate club with me) and there are so few classes, it's not even funny. Plus, 1/24 class ranking isn't that impressive, compared with the super geniuses on CC with 1/500, etc. Sounds like I still have a chance? Good luck, Joycelene...</p>
