You should certainly work hard, bring your grades up, and apply as a transfer if Reed is still where you want to be (Who knows? Maybe in a year you will have fallen in love with a different college).

However, if you had a not-so-great academic record in high school, you will only have one semester of college under your belt when you apply to transfer, which is not a lot of time to prove how much you have improved/grown/learned/etc. It seems like people are generally more successful transfer applicants to Reed after at least 1 full year of college. Still, it’s always worth a shot.

Vivacuba- your chances of getting off of the waitlist are usually better (if only slightly) if you don’t require financial aid. But you are right to think about moving on and looking at other options.
