I got into Reed with a 3.3 GPA and I’m an aid-seeking international, so it is possible. I had higher test scores, though I don’t know whether that ensured my admission or my essays.

Your son needs to write a Why Reed? essay that explains what attracts him to Reed. I talked about being an unconventional but keen learner who is not motivated by grades in mine, and that must have resonated with the admission office.

That being said, the Common App essay is equally important. He needs to have very good essays, basically.
