<p>Are you <em>interested</em> in Reed? Have you visited? I have to be honest; when I see someone post a big long list of activities, and their “competition” at the school, with rankings, I think, “That’s not a Reedie, that’s someone looking to get into a school they think is hot stuff.” I may be completely off base, but there’s nothing about your post that speaks Reedie to me. Why do you want to attend? What are your goals? What do you love about Reed? How would you answer the Why Reed question? What is there about you that isn’t stats and EC’s?</p>
