<p>study hard for the sat. I think you’ll need 2250+ for a good shot</p>

<p>IMO, you don’t need 2250+ for a good shot. Reed doesn’t really place much emphasis on SAT scores. What’s really important is your Why Reed essay and interview.</p>

<p>Your GPA is a bit low for the average Reedie’s, and so’s your SAT score. While it’s not essential that you be perfect, I do think you need to visibly improve.
If you do improve, then with great essays I think you could get in.</p>
