<p>DD1 with similar stats was waitlisted at Reed.</p>
<p>^^^ menloparkmom is right.</p>
<p>35 ACT, 4.23 W, 3.88 UW, good EC’s, good essay (accepted at UChicago, Vassar, Wesleyan, waitlisted at Amberst, Pomona, Bowdoin) and I was waitlisted at Reed. Had a crumby graded essay that you’re required to send in for Reed and a few B’s and no hook. Reed is really never a safety though it has a higher admission rate than the schools I got into or other ones I waitlisted at.</p>
<p>ok so now I definitely know that Reed is NOT a safety. Thanks for the info everyone! I am now looking into less selective schools, such as Clark University</p>
