<p>Hi there, I applied to Reed as an international transfer and was wondering if there were any other transfers out there? Any news from Reed? Hope to hear from you!</p>
<p>I also applied as a transfer student, no news yet. I was told by mid-may decisions would be sent out. I don’t know about you, but the anticipation is killing me!</p>
<p>Hi ashleyz, I’m glad to know I’m not alone in this… I can’t wait for that letter to arrive, and now that school is over I have no homework to stress over so all I think about is this…</p>
<p>I’m a transfer applicant too, but not international. They said decisions will come out May 15.</p>
<p>I’m also a transfer applicant. Nervous for May 15th!</p>
<p>The weird thing is I was accepted last year as an incoming freshman, but turned down the offer. I regret that decision, so I reapplied. I’m hoping the admission officers give second chances haha.</p>
<p>Hey Booksrule9, why did you turn down the offer? What school did you choose over it?</p>
<p>My neighbors have to think I’m crazy by now with how often I’m checking my mail! Are decisions being sent out the 15th for sure? I was hoping they would be sent out before then, and the 15th is just the latest they would send them. I accepted U of M’s offer due to their May 1st deadline, I’m still holding out for Reed though…</p>

I turned down the offer because I had different plans back then. It’s complicated, but I went from a biochemistry major to an English major. Because now I want to be a college professor and need a PhD, Reed seems like the more appropriate fit with its focus on academia and the liberal arts. I also turned down Reed because I’d thought it was too small of a school for me, but now I’ve realized that smaller would be good for me. I chose Seattle University over Reed, which I did because I really liked Seattle University’s focus on social justice. I still do, but my priorities have changed.</p>
<p>So they were all more personal reasons and not anything with the school itself.</p>
<p>@ashleyz, same experience with neighbours here haha, I try to go at odd hours because I feel self-conscious about checking my mail so often 
I called the admissions office yesterday and they said they would start mailing letters before May 15th, and we’ll get an email too. Just 4 more days now…</p>
<p>@booksrule9, I’m sorry you had to reject Reed. I just got rejected from Amherst, and it was my top choice along with Reed, so I’m really hoping to get an acceptance letter soon.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard from Reed? We were suppossed to know their decision BY May 15th, and that’s tomorrow…</p>
<p>No word yet.
What do you guys see when you log onto this website? Because my financial aid materials are still listed as “received, not reviewed”…I take that as a bad sign. :/</p>

<p>I see the same message. I suppose they won’t update it until after you receive your acceptance and finaid package…</p>
<p>Anyone hear anything? It’s officially the 15th, totally freaking out.</p>
<p>Nope, just waiting. It’s gonna be such a stressful day waiting, but hopefully the last one…</p>
<p>Wait listed! I’m gonna write a letter of interest and send my latest grades. Should I also send an extra rec. letter? I hope I get a place!!!</p>
<p>I was wait listed also, does anyone know the stats for accepting students off the wait list?</p>
<p>According to the Reed website 954 of the 3131 applicants were admitted. They are admitting 1069 students overall and I’m predicting around 600 students got waitlisted overall so expect a 16% chance of being admitted.</p>
<p>Then again Reed had a poor waitlist acceptance rate last year. Only 9 out of 600 students made the cut so who knows.</p>
<p>@Ballinsince93 thanks for the stats. However, this is the transfer waitlist, which I believe to be different from the regular one. Since freshmen had until May 1st to accept their offer, wait listed students should have already been notified whether they were offered a place or not. They had until May 15th to decide, which is when Transfer letters went out. So at this point, I believe it would be hard to tell how many spaces are left for wait lsited transfers.</p>
