<p>Obviously, admission/rejection will come down to the intangibles…(recommendation letters, essays, etc…).</p>

<p>Surely, you’re not concerned about your class rank :wink: </p>

<p>Seriously, though, I understand your anxiety. Good luck!</p>

3

<p>When numeric stats are sufficient (yours are), I generally guess 50/50, because stats count so little at Reed.</p>

4

<p>Well, your lack of visit/interview might hurt you, if you can demonstrate enough passion in your “Why Reed?” essay, then you’d have a pretty good shot.</p>

<p>Seriously? You should be pretty aware of your chances of getting into Reed with those stats and supposedly well written essays.</p>
