<p>“The Committee on Admission will consider applications from unusually qualified high school students who wish to enter Reed after the junior year. Students interested in early admission should have outstanding high school records and have exhausted the educational opportunities available to them at their high schools. An early admission candidate follows the standard freshman application process, with two exceptions: early admission candidates may not apply under the early decision options, and the application must be accompanied by a letter from a high school counselor or principal supporting the student’s plan to enter college after the junior year. Early admission candidates are required to take either the SAT I or the ACT. In addition, the student should be sure to address in the application why he or she is seeking early admission to Reed. Early admission applicants who intend to apply for financial aid should note that federal regulations require that the student receive either a high school diploma or a GED in order to be eligible to receive federal financial aid funds.”</p>
