I was waitlisted. I'm absolutely floored, Reed was a match school for me. All my stats are well above the admitted averages and I thought I demonstrated interest (visited, interviewed).... who knows...

Yeah, me too waitlist. I really wanted to go there. Wrote 4.5 page essay on why I want to go to Reed (don't laugh).
Sucks, I really fell in love with Reed. And they are saying kids who get off waitlist can't be assured financial aid (:
2 waitlists so far ughh.

My friend got waitlisted at Reed. He's from Washington State.

However, he wanted to graduate a year early, so that might have had something to do with it.

Waitlisted! I'm from Malaysia. I reeeeally like Reed, so I'm surprised I was this calm when I read the email. I was like, "Oh well."

Really sucks that you might not get financial aid if you're accepted off the waitlist.
