<p>I got off the waitlist earlier this month. Was called by the dean of admissions on May 4. He kinda half asked me to commit on the phone. Got the impression that there were a few other people, but not many who got off the waitlist that early. I sent in a supplemental essay, a letter from my mentor and letter from myself. A friend of mine who declined a spot on the waitlist told the college to let me in. Was super surprised that i got waitlisted in the first place, because my gpa is below a 3.0 although my test scores are on or above target for reed. I did not apply for financial aid.</p>
