<p>[A</a> Small College Struggles With Economics - Readers’ Comments - NYTimes.com](<a href=“http://community.nytimes.com/article/comments/2009/06/10/business/economy/10reed.html?s=1&pg=1]A”>http://community.nytimes.com/article/comments/2009/06/10/business/economy/10reed.html?s=1&pg=1)</p>
<p>Gah… I’m one poor sunofa*****. I’m really thankful for financial aid’s efforts. I hope I can stay at the school though for the next three years!</p>
<p>(The article says that Reed had to change its acceptances before they were sent out. 100 needy students were knocked off the list in favor of 100 full-pay students. Welcome to realityland.)</p>
<p>And yet… well qualified full-pay students were nevertheless rejected. It’s still not easy to be admitted to Reed, even as a full-pay student.</p>
<p>I think there are many other colleges that did similar things, Reed is just exceptionally open about it.</p>
