Reed College requirements?

Question

Not really "requirements," but I lacked a better word.
Anyway. I know there aren't really set GPA's one has to get for most colleges, but I was wondering what is usual/recommended for Reed (Portland, Oregon.) And maybe SAT scores too. That sort of stuff would be helpful to know.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Average GPA: 3.90
Average SAT: 1352
Average ACT: 30

The average SAT was taken from the old test, in which 1600 was the top score. So you could approximate what the average score will be this year by dividing 1352 by 2, and multiplying that by 3.

Estimate: average SAT 2028

Having said that, Reed admissions are not always "by the numbers." They really go out of their way to find students with both the ability and the drive to succeed there.

I recommend checking out the discussion board on http://www.collegeconfidential.com
Those boards will be pretty active soon, and that's the best site for students seeking admission to highly selective liberal arts colleges. You can chat with other aspiring Reed students, compare stats (if you're into that), and generally get a good feel for what the Reed admission process will be like.

I wish you every success -- Reed is an absolutely fantastic place.
