<p>Hello all</p>
<p>This fall I will be a senior in high school. I attend a small, very rigorous, private college prep school in Tucson, Arizona. During April, I managed to visit many colleges in the northeast and northwest, and Reed College became one of my top choice schools...</p>
<p>However, academically, I may not fit the typical Reed mold. What do you all think?</p>

Masterwork (a unique program my school provides in which a senior student, if he/she wishes to do so, may create a senior project of sorts. This masterwork project is an integration of a student's personal passion and an accumulation of the things he/she has an interest in academically. I will create a 150-200 page graphic novel in which I design the characters and story, draw it out, so on.)</p>
