<p>I was thinking of applying Early Decision, but I would like to know my chances for both early and regular decision.</p>

<p>I have taken 8 AP classes so far, and I will be taking 6 more during senior year. </p>

<p>GPA:

Unweighted:3.9</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:</p>

<p>I think I can write a decent Why Reed Essay and am going to brainstorm over the next month, but I don't know how creative I can make it.</p>

<p>Also, is the common app essay fairly important? I will try to make it the best that I can, but I have a lot of other stuff to work on at the moment.</p>

<p>I have also heard that the essay is super important, which is why I would like to know my chances were my essay only to be decent.</p>

<p>I have heard Reed makes a big deal about GPA and yours is great</p>

<p>I think it is a match for you</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, I hadn’t heard this before. I am just really hoping that I can get it, because I am in love with the school :)</p>

<p>Any other opinions?</p>
