<p>Anybody submit his or her transfer application to Reed? I have and every time I think about my feet go so cold. I find the transfer process so agonizing because it is even less cut and dry than from high school. Most admission material is directed towards teens making things difficult to gauge.</p>
<p>Reed is my first choice school. I am a research assistant at a laboratory, so I'm hoping I can talk my way into Reed as well as I did into my job without having the typical credentials. Although I did do pretty well on the SAT so I'm hoping that will express that I can buckle down to study when need be.</p>
<p>Yep I submitted mine…looking to transfer from a CA community college into the International and Comparative Policy Studies major…the wait is ever so-slightly agonizing.</p>
<p>Hi, I submitted my transfer application too. I am an older returning student, after seven years away from school. Yes, the wait is maddening. </p>
<p>What is drawing you to Reed?</p>
<p>Hi, yeah I know how you guys feel…I’m an international student hoping to transfer from a CC in Hawaii…I have like almost zero percent chance…but Reed is SOOO cool…the wait is agonizing…</p>
<p>Hi again, everybody!</p>
<p>I am drawn to Reed because it is super hard, super liberal, super small and super Portland. Also, there are no sports. I love the other two schools I’m applying to as well, but Reed is <em>it</em>.</p>
<p>Can you believe we’ve almost made it to May? My nerves are really getting worse as the days go by. I heard sometimes in late April people get letters back so for the next 3 weeks I plan to be on edge.</p>
<p>Initially I tried to submit as ED/RD but I had too many credits.</p>
<p>drdalek, where are you transferring from?</p>
<p>It’s exciting to be so close to knowing, whether acceptance or rejection. While being this close puts me more on edge, it is also a relief. The answer is finally within reach.</p>
<p>Do you have a major?</p>
<p>Best of luck to you!</p>
<p>Got a neat, brief email from admissions yesterday, with a link to a video informing me of my acceptance! While I was applying, I couldn’t find many stats on Reed to see what type of applicant they accept. As far as I know, stats may be totally useless to post here for future applicants to see, as I don’t entirely know their admissions process. Regardless, here they are:</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0 coming from a CA CC, part of an Honors Program
Major: Applied for ICPS (don’t know if accepted to this major or to the college in general, still haven’t received the official envelope)
Extracurriculars: student government, on-campus committees, animal shelter volunteer, tutor, Mock Trial (in high school)
Letters of Rec: sent 3, probably 2/3 great, 1 good
Essays: 8.5/10
Interview: Seemed so horrible to me that I thought I had ruined my chances…Maybe so, but all I have is a subjective opinion.
Other: Absurdly excited…then confused as to how I will decide what school to go to out of those I have been accepted into (and those from which I am still waiting to hear)…</p>
<p>Has anyone else heard back yet?</p>
<p>Congratulations from a freshman admit! Looking forward to see you this fall :D</p>
<p>Denied! They told me to do a full year of college work and they’d definitely accept me but I just decided to go with another school (UPS in Tacoma), instead. I don’t want to go to community college anymore. Good luck to everybody else!</p>
