<p>Your standardized test scores are low, and your GPA isn’t exactly going to make up for them. I suggest rocking a fall SAT and getting A’s. Oh, and you didn’t tell us how many APs you took…</p>

4

<p>Biology (5)
US Hist (5)
Microeconomics (5)
Macroeconomics (3…sigh)</p>

<p>Senior Fall Line-Up
AP Environmental Science
AP Eng Lit
AP Span Lang
AP Pysch
Anatomy H
Calculus H</p>

<p>Do you think if I pulled ACT up to 33 chances would be higher?</p>

6

<p>Yes. ten characters</p>

7

<p>lol what does ten characters mean?</p>

<p>Replies on CC have to have a minimum of 10 characters, so people just add that if their reply is too short.</p>

<p>As for your chances, its really a toss up. Your ACT is average for Reed, but your GPA (which is the most important thing) is on the lower end. Your EC’s are slightly above average, but theres nothing that says “Wow!”, ya know? I think if you apply, you’ll have a decent shot, but I wouldn’t expect much.</p>
