<p>This article, from the Reed Alumni Magazine, does a good job of laying out all of the factors considered when the admissions committee evaluates applications:</p>

<p>To be honest, no one here can really give you a firm estimate of your chances. We don’t have your transcript and application in front of us, we haven’t seen your essays or teacher recommendations, and we also don’t know what the application pool will look like this year.</p>
<p>But, it sounds like you have a solid grades, some great extracurriculars, and other positives in your favor. The article above, especially the information on page 5, can help you evaluate yourself in terms of what Reed’s admissions committee is looking for. </p>
<p>So, if you’ve done your research, and decided Reed is right for you, give it a shot! Good luck!</p>
