| They wwanted your transcript? I didn't have mine and I don't think the interviewer wanted it. She just asked me what my class schedule was like this year and I rambled on for a while :-D. Your SAT looks fine, don't worry too much about the Writing score because my best friend who's the best writer I know got a 630. I think most colleges know it's bull**** and don't count it too much. Plus your ACT is really good and Reed really cares more about whether you're a personal fit way more than perfect grades and test scores, so I think if you write an excellent Why Reed essay and get great teacher recs you have a really good chance of getting in. Good luck!
Haha I sort of went on that same rant when I was talking about my schedule, I was explaining why I had no math or science this year :-D and I said that I could really concentrate on subjects that I like and care about instead of doing a half-assed (yep, that's how I phrased it, she didn't mind) job in, for example, English and French because I'd have to put all of my energy into AP Biology or Calculus AB to get a decent grade. I also said since my schedule's not overloaded I have the time to actually think about my assignments and what I'm being taught instead of just rushing through everything to complete 5 hours of homework on time. Yeah. It seemed to go over well with her :-D.
Be patient w/Bryn Mawr because Swarthmore and Barnard told me that they get hundreds of interview requests every year and they'd try to get back to me as soon as they possibly could. They probably have a lot of requests to match up right now. Don't worry, it's a small school, they'll get back to you. |
