<p>^^ Hello, Willow. Are you awake?</p>
<p>OP’s 2000 is 76 points below average at Reed. See [REED</a> COLLEGE ADMISSION STATISTICS](<a href=“http://www.reed.edu/ir/admission.html]REED”>Admission Statistics - Institutional Research - Reed College)</p>
<p>However, OP’s grades are far below the entering class average GPA of 3.9 (or 3.85 +). In fact, OP’s 3.47 just falls in the bottom 12% as per the most recent Common Data Set (CDS) [Reed</a> College 2010-11 Common Data Set SecC](<a href=“http://www.reed.edu/ir/cds/cds1011/cdssecc201011.html]Reed”>Reed College 2010-11 Common Data Set SecC - Institutional Research - Reed College). Further, grades are listed as a “very important” admission factor on the CDS whereas standardized test scores are “important.”</p>
<p>OP states: “Im really worried that I won’t get in.” OP should realize that Reed is notoriously more difficult to graduate from than to be admitted to. Indeed, its graduation rates are well below that of other top LAC’s where graduation rates are over 90%. [Reed</a> Magazine | Graduation Rate Hits 70%](<a href=“http://www.reed.edu/reed_magazine/march2012/articles/eliot_circular/grad_rate.html]Reed”>Graduation Rate Hits 70% | Reed Magazine)</p>
<p>ED2 is unlikely give OP any advantage. OP should explore other LAC’s like Oberlin, Grinnell, Colby, Bates, Whitman, etc., which have slightly different cultures and surroundings, as reach schools. Even, if OP were admitted to Reed, attending may not be in his/her best interest.</p>
