@Fangirl1999 through email?
@captainkjk Nope, by mail! It came right next to my big Mount Holyoke envelope though so it’s okay 
And my mom is happy because she didn’t want me going that far
Waitlisted in Connecticut - not that upset about it as much as nervous about the other schools I applied to.
Same @sjmain
waitlisted in Nevada. Is it it even worth going through the waitlist process?
@hawkirk I’m wondering the same thing. do students accepted off the waitlist still receive full financial aid? I love Reed, but I’m a little put off by their answer in their FAQ about how students could hear back as late as early August about being taken off the waitlist…that’s a lot to ask for, considering a lot of colleges start in late August and many Reed applicants live outside of Oregon.
@mrskite yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… I’m gonna sleep on it, but for now I def don’t think I’m even gonna try. Looks like I’ll probably be going to Cal Poly, or possibly Haverford if I get in there.
@hawkirk hey, cal poly is a fantastic school, congrats! I don’t know if I’m going to either…again, really love Reed, but I don’t know if I’d be happy going to a school that wouldn’t accept me the first time around, you know? in any case, I’m sure everyone here waitlisted/rejected will succeed wherever they choose to go
Is there any hope for waitlisted students?
@Gorbammaire only 3 students were taken off the waitlist according to the 2015-2016 common data set
@winterkomt I thought that really depends on the incoming class. I mean, that year may have been 3, this year might as well be 10 or 0. Don’t you think?
@Diego0115 That is accurate, There is a year when Reed accepted 80 people from its waitlist and there are years when it has accepted none. Reed is only increasing in popularity, many of the students that apply are committed to attending. This is complicated even more if you take into consideration that Reed fills nearly half its incoming class in the early decision rounds(a yield of ~100% for those batches). For the remaining regular decision round Reed over admits that is Reed admitted 1888 students but only 420 ultimately enrolled. Given the allowance already catered for by its relatively high admission rate, it seems unlikely that they’ll resort to their waitlist reserves. As I noted earlier 3 out 437 students isn’t a promising trend, a trend that isn’t likely to fluctuate (significantly) in our favor.
My tone might come off a bit somber but I have actually accepted a place on the waitlist and received an upbeat e-mail signed by the dean of admissions( I know its bulk mail, but it’s the thought that counts)
Two years ago they overshot their yield. They expected more students to decline admission and ended up with a really large class. For this reason you can see that the 20-15-16 CDS has 3 admits.
On the other hand take a look at the 2016-17 CSD which has 136 admits…
@LKnomad Wow, that’s interesting! Maybe if I get rejected from NSLI-Y and CBYX, I’ll take a spot on the list (if either accept me, then a gap year would be non-negotiable and Reed doesn’t allow waitlist admits to defer)
I know we should expect our financial aid decisions by the 24th, but has anyone received it yet?
I think someone answered this before, but does anybody know how financial aid work with students admitted from the waitlist? I know most asked for big fin aid packages. Do you think Reed will give you a reasonably close amount of what you asked for?
@Diego0115 Well, they’re still committed to meeting 100% need of ALL students, so financial aid should be the same as if you were admitted sans waitlist
Is anyone here going to the Reed Admit Day?
I would… If I had been admitted
@Archibaldo I will if financial aid is going to be a thing. If not then, I guess I am going to have to not consider Reed unfortunately. Really hope they come through!
