<p>Well there are thousands of early applicants for Standford and Yale and only about 200 for Reed. But I am hoping (like ddrbenny said) the smallness of Reed will make it a better community and provide more accessible professors. As for seeing Reed in person, before I visited I had very high expectations and was afraid it was all “too good to be true.” But the visit basically reaffirmed all the great stuff I had read.
Anyway, I am definitely an anxious Reed ED applicant! (Three more weeks!) How are you/your son dealing with the waiting?</p>
