<p>“OP should realize that Reed is notoriously more difficult to graduate from than to be admitted to.”</p>
<p>How is that measured? Percentage accepted vs. graduation percentage? Application effort vs. graduation effort? To be sure, the Reed workload is heavy.</p>
<p>“Even, if OP were admitted to Reed, attending may not be in his/her best interest.”</p>
<p>Reed won’t admit anyone who hasn’t already shown that they can handle the workload. The first question Reed asks is: Do you have the academic wherewithal to make it in this rigorous environment?</p>
