Does anyone know if reed admissions decisions will be released all at once or as they become available?
All at once.
I checked my application status this morning and according to the blurb above it, “decision letters for Freshman applicants will be mailed in late March.”
I am so excited to receive my decision letter that says “Acceptance” at the top.
Reed is my top choice. I wish I had applied early decision instead of applying to Swarthmore and getting rejected.
@Ctesiphon Same here! I applied to Chicago EA, but got deferred. I really wish I had realized sooner how much I want to go to Reed.
I applied to UChicago too and was deferred. I also don’t like how UChicago deferred the vast majority of EA applicants. Apparently that’s regular practice at selective colleges that use EA, but I have no idea if I would have been close to acceptance or of its a long-shot… I was deferred at Colorado College too, but they don’t defer anyone who isn’t accepted in the EA round–they only deferred about 10% of applicants.
Same here. I wish I realized Reed was my first choice (Or tied as first choice) early on so I could have done ED.
Anyone have any idea when decisions are being sent out this year? I feel like “late March” is annoyingly ambiguous.
Call me crazy, but I think it’s April 1st. That’s what their website says at least.
I really hope they’re released prior to April 1. That’s a bit too much more waiting.
I saw somewhere that they were released on 3/20 last year.
Do you have any idea what Reed officially said the decision release date would be last year?
Hi Reedie Friends. I was rejected from UChicago so Reed is the last beacon of hope for my collegiate perfection. April 1 seems so far away.
I want to be accepted at Reed College right NOW!
Please!
@Ctesiphon I was also just rejected from Chicago.
I really hope it helps that I applied to Reed all the way back in November!
@Ctesiphon You will do great things wherever you go. I was waitlisted by UChicago, so now the wait continues. UChicago and Reed are about equal for me in terms of how much I want to go. I really hope I get into Reed.
I got a handwritten note from a student at Reed today that says admissions is excited about my application. It seemed unique and encouraging but maybe I’m kidding myself!! Did other people get them?
I got a handwritten note too, was it the same one as yours??? I threw it away but I remember it asking me to E-mail a Reedie, so I sent them an e-mail.
Oh I hope I got one. I should actually get out of bed now and check the mail. I live on the East Coast, if I didn’t find one in the mail, is that because I’m just farther away? I really hope that I got one, and that if I didn’t, it doesn’t mean that my application wasn’t good. I really really really want to go to Reed because it is so amazing.
I just want to make sure if the one I got is the same one as he got!!!
I feel silly subconsciously mocking people who worried about little stupid things like this, but now look at me, I’m doing it too!
In 2014 Reed decisions came out on 3/20 - so everyone is getting closer!
