Early Decision Applicants thread - Class of 2019

<p>I’ve been also reading some old threads about Reed’s decision here and getting excited with every “Got in!” and freaked out with every other “Rejected. I thought I was such a perfect fit”
Do you guys think that getting the email later than the rest is probably a bad sign? </p>

<p>@android789 Haha. I’ve been doing the exact same thing, don’t worry.</p>

<p>I just got off the phone with Reed. Letters are postmarked today and emails will be sent out in the late afternoon. Here we go :-)</p>

<p>@android789‌ I wouldn’t worry about it. I imagine they run through all the applicants one last and confirm their decision about each before they notify the student. Probably random. </p>

<p>Oh noooo…I’m so scared haha! Hopefully I’ll be home when I get the mail!</p>

<p>@codexsplande I’m sure you will be. If it’s late afternoon in Portland, it’s probably 4-7 where you are.</p>

<p>I’m semi-confident that I won’t be accepted, so part of me wants not knowing to last as long as possible. On the other hand, I want to go to Reed so badly that I can’t stand knowing that there’s a small chance I’ll be admitted.</p>

<p>@cn7528‌ I can relate…</p>

<p>@codexsplanade‌ Don’t mean to sound creepy, but I’m especially hoping you get in. I remember us discussing ROME a lot. You love Reed. You deserve this.</p>

<p>@cn7528‌ You don’t sound creepy to me at all! I really, really appreciate that. My fingers are crossed so hard; logically, I know I’m in the ballpark range for their average freshman applicant in every way except GPA…but will they look past that? IDK. Guess I’ll find out in a couple hours, eh?</p>

<p>@codexsplanade‌ I think you’re a pretty good candidate. I wouldn’t focus too heavily on GPA.Averages are just averages- Reed is even known for accepting high school dropouts</p>

<p>@lganser True, and I know I have good recs, but what if my essay isn’t good enough? I don’t know…I can’t do anything about it now though so I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.</p>

<p>I’m so positive you’ll get in BTW. They love you, haha.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone. Hopefully we’ll be celebrating tonight!</p>

<p>Still…Haven’t…Heard Anything</p>

<p>I’m dying</p>

<p>@lganser Me either, and me also.</p>

<p>Gonna try to nap.</p>

<p>I just called the admissions office. They said they’re running behind and won’t be sending out decisions until MAYBE tomorrow</p>

<p>what do you mean maybe? As in they might delay it or might not??</p>

<p>I just called and they said they start sending in bunches around 5 today</p>

<p>@analogcadaver‌ do you know who you spoke to? That was exactly what the man who I spoke to said</p>

<p>I spoke to a woman but she put it on hold to ask for sure </p>
