The inevitable funeral/fiesta thread. (Translation: I did/n't get accepted).

<p>Walrus, your experience was very similar to mine emotionally. </p>

<p>I was stuck between Reed and UChicago, but my visit instantly decided that for me. The best word to describe it would be “natural”. Everything I did and experienced that day felt right.</p>

<p>After that, I had to tell my overly supportive friends and family to “stop assuming” when they would flatter me with sayings of getting into Reed. As much as it was my only true choice for a college, it was also a dream, and I couldn’t grow cocky, lest I become shattered.</p>

<p>On another note, did anyone here attend the first Discover Reed event? It was on Friday, September 30, and I, perhaps along with others, would like to know if I consciously came across any of you now fellow Reedies that day.</p>

<p>If you did, message me on this website so we can exchange a bit of information and see if we know each other. Assuming of course such a thing interests you.</p>

<p>Bumping this thread for ED2 folks!</p>

<p>I got in. This still doesn’t feel real to me.</p>

<p>Same here, Radiohead. I’ll probably have nightmares tonight about it being a mistake like at Vassar.</p>

<p>Congratulations to those accepted and welcome to Portlandia! (Have lived in Portland area for 25 years now) My daughter wants to go further away, but I know you’ll love it here if you’re not here already.</p>

<p>Word, congrats from a freshman Reedie to the ED IIers who’ve been accepted! Can’t wait to have you guys here. Join the Facebook group if you haven’t already–there should only be one.</p>
