I have no idea what to expect as this is my first college interview. Could anyone give me some hints as well as give me an idea of what questions to expect from this interview? I'd greatly appreciate any help!

Thanks :) ]]> Reed College sarahbeeballin-181690 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/reed-college/815228-interview.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/reed-college/811503-how-big-should-why-reed-essay.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:37:45 GMT The prompt says to be thorough. I wrote nearly a thousand words. Is that too thorough? How many words is your essay? Am I the only person who loves Reed so much that I have written a thesis on it? The prompt says to be thorough.

According to the Reed website (REED COLLEGE LIFE AFTER REED), reed graduates have been accepted to top northeastern medical schools such as Harvard, Yale, and Johns Hopkins.

How many students exactly have been accepted in the past ten years to Johns Hopkins, Yale, or Harvard? Is there any data on what kind of students were they i.e. GPA, what major or ec's?

Also, has anyone from Reed been accepted to Penn medical school? ]]> Reed College niteangel1004-275960 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/reed-college/810600-medical-schools-reed-graduates.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/reed-college/800690-ask-reedie.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:08:45 GMT So it's that time of the year again, college application time. I was actually a big stalker of these boards back when I was applying to Reed last year (and look where I am now!) so I thought I'd come back and answer any questions you guys might have about life on campus, academics, life, the universe, and anything else that floats your boats. ]]> Reed College StudiousNutcase-207374 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/reed-college/800690-ask-reedie.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/reed-college/800267-reed-college-still-possibility.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 06:00:28 GMT I am a Junior in highschool that really wants to go to Reed, but am worried that my GPA will hold me back.My extremely low GPA results from horrible freshmen and sophmore years (2.8), but have pulled my grades up to around a 3.75 this semester. I'm looking at about a 32 on the ACT. I'm self studying AP Bio, Chem, Psych, and Calc AB, and taking AP American History in school. To help demonstrate myself as capable of Reed level work, I am going to enroll part time in a community college. Writing is my strength, and I feel that will help me in my essay. In addition to newspaper, MUN, and Rugby I am currently holding down a civil engineering internship. I plan on having an interview. Also, I was raised in a really messed up family situation that partially contributed to my lack of academic success, should I mention this in the interview or will I sound whiny? Does what kind of school you went to make a difference in how they look at your grades, IE a competitive private (all-male) prep school?

Is regular admission to Reed still a possibility or am I stuck trying to transfer in?
