<p>RD political science. There is no school I would rather go to than Reed</p>
<p>RD Anthropology.</p>
<p>I LOVE Reed.</p>
<p>1 month and 2 days to go :-/</p>
<p>Seriously, as someone planning to major in Physics, you should know better than to say something like that! 
It’s as good as saying π/3 = 3.14/3 = 1.0466666 to 7 d.p. (What I mean is a month can be 28 days like this month, or 31 like the next month, so two days doesn’t matter). :p</p>
<p>A month left and I’m really nervous now!</p>
<p>Physics=/=hairsplitting
Its easier to imagine incrementing the month by 1 and days by 2 than xx days :P</p>
<p>It is rather alarming that, in your perception that “two days doesn’t matter”, you feel the pedantic necessity to post and criticize about…how two days doesn’t matter (and do so using an ill-suited example). It seems to me that the latter finds itself far below the former on the hierarchy of significance. But do give yourself a mighty pat on the back for contributing the wonderful literary device of irony to the Reed College boards.</p>

<p>Btw, does Reed send likely letters?</p>
<p>Huh. Wait, let’s see if you can refer to a user/post:</p>

<p>What exactly is a “likely letter”?</p>

<p>
And you are a Reed student or applicant? (“None” would be surprising)
A hint that you might be accepted. But I doubt anyone sends them to internationals… (I don’t know why I said that though, just a gut feel)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A-a-a-applicant.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No Liberal Arts College sends likely letters, as far as I know. Likely letters are meant for the big universities competing for the top applicants to make their case stronger in said applicants’ minds. Also, if ever Liberal Arts Colleges do and Reed reaches a sub 20% acceptance rate, international applicants still wouldn’t get likely letters, in any case so no point worrying your little souls. </p>
<p>I just checked my acceptance e-mail from last year and it came on 27th/28th March. So acceptances start pouring in around then. They send rejection/waitlist notifications separately and I don’t know when those are out.</p>
<p>I hope I won’t need to find out about the separate lists :P</p>
<p>Liberal Arts Colleges’ version of likely letters are “early writes” unlike likely letters that only hint an acceptance early writes ARE acceptance letters sent out early. But like likely letters very few applicants receive one of these. I don’t think internationals are eligible to receive early writes.</p>
<p>I think an international applicant did receive an “early write” from Colgate. I don’t think Reed practices “early writes”, but you never know.</p>
<p>Yeah, but its pretty dumb to wait to see one. good to see the Reed forum suddenly spring to life after lying dead for so long :D</p>
<p>So, Reed decisions come by e-mail and we don’t need to login to the website?</p>
<p>Yes. You’ll get an e-mail from the Admission Office in the last week of March/early April regarding your application decision. You log-in only to record any changes in contact details, and check if all application materials have been received.</p>
<p>What do you remember most about the post acceptance process? I guess the acceptance video must be one of those great things? :)</p>
<p>Post acceptance? Haha. I was pretty over the moon. The acceptance e-mail is awesome because you feel you’re in for not-so-good news and then bam, they send you this link that has “acceptance” in it. For someone who’d already received two waitlist notifications by then, I literally screamed because I kept telling my mom, I think I’ll be one of those odd cases that gets waitlisted/rejected everywhere and my mom obviously had the last laugh after that. Although I was partially right, Reed was my only clear acceptance and I had a bazillion waitlists and two rejections (one by a college that seemed to think it was okay to tell me that they hadn’t received my teacher recommendations after assessing my incomplete application and rejecting me).</p>
<p>Haha! I guess I’ll end up waking the whole colony if I get accepted too
And really, you were probably always meant for reed :)</p>
