<p>If Reed is your dream school, then it doesn’t hurt to apply. But make sure to put a lot of effort into your application, especially the “Why Reed?” essay… don’t just write it off that you could never get in anyway, so why bother…</p>
<p>But if it doesn’t really line up with what you want to do, then maybe you should reconsider if Reed is actually a good fit for you. You could definitely study abroad if you wanted to while at Reed, but double majoring is quite difficult and there are a lot of other great colleges which make double majoring easier. (I was triple majoring before I transferred to Reed. Which is ridiculous.) Do you know what you’d want to double major in? Does Reed offer those majors? Their pickings ARE somewhat slim…</p>
<p>I don’t think that a 1930 would disqualify you at all… really, your SAT scores are not the most important factor in admissions.</p>
<p>It’s really important to do your research but I don’t know if you can truly understand what Reed is/isn’t unless you visit. It would probably be helpful if you were able to see the campus, sit in on some classes, talk with professors and students and then decide if it would be a good fit for you.</p>
<p>Also, just a guess, but the crazy people who double major most likely aren’t geniuses, but organizational whiz kids who probably knew exactly what they wanted to do when they started and planned out the next 4-5 years accordingly.</p>
