That’s a list of stats and achievements, but it doesn’t really give anyone a picture of you. Your essays, particularly your “Why Reed?” will be very important to admissions. (And just saying, “My essays will be great!” is not going to do it.) What makes you a good fit for Reed? Why are you interested in the school? What are you passionate about? Because honestly, a lot of awards and volunteering doesn’t paint a clear picture about your passions.
