<p>Should you bother applying? Sure, if you think that you're a good fit for Reed. A lot of the application process is about trying to find students who "are" Reedies. Essays help a lot with that. I don't see anything about your scores that says that you're a bad academic fit. Why do you want to go to Reed? What makes you feel drawn to the school?</p>
<p>redlight, I've noticed that you've been posting "chances" threads for a lot of different schools, and it seems like you may be choosing your college list based on what people here say your chances are at various schools. </p>
<p>I would strongly urge you to take TrinSF's excellent advice to heart --- think about what you are looking for, where you will fit best, and look for the colleges that match YOU. A lot of people think they are powerless in the admissions process. In reality, you DO have power -- the power to choose schools based on the match between you and individual colleges. That match is about a lot more than GPA and test scores; it's about really thinking about who you are, what you have to offer beyond GPA and test scores, and which colleges are most likely to want what you have to offer and match your personality. Rather than ask a bunch of strangers on the internet who don't know you to "chance" you, focus more on researching the differences between schools, and listening to your heart about which ones are a match for you. You need to be able to honestly answer the questions TrinSF has asked about EVERY college you apply to. Knowing the answers to her questions -- well, that's where your best "chance" lays, regardless of which school it is.</p>
