<p>I got my acceptance letter a few days ago and I am so happy to count Reed among my college options, but at the same time I am terrified of what might happen if I attend.</p>
<p>I think I might be able to handle the intensity, but to be honest I just don't know. I get fairly good grades, I take my schools' only available AP English class, and I receive more "awesome connection" remarks than anyone else in that class, but I am easily confused by how to interpret directions and more than once have turned in essays answering the wrong question or projects that addressed the wrong topic. Because of my consistent "answer the question" comments, I've begun to freeze on assignments, especially when they involve analytical writing. I know Reed is especially intense where written assignments are concerned, and I'm scared of what would happen if I tried to write a Humanities 110 essay in my current state. </p>
<p>If anyone has anything to say regarding this, I would sincerely appreciate it.</p>
