<p>^ You can see how important SAT is to Reed and most other schools by googling for their “common data set” and checking section C7; Reed’s is at [Reed</a> College 2008-09 Common Data Set SecC](<a href=“http://web.reed.edu/ir/cds/cds0809/cdssecc200809.html]Reed”>Reed College 2008-09 Common Data Set SecC - Institutional Research - Reed College). You’ll see that Reed considers standardized test scores “Important.” Realistically, 540 is low.</p>
