Hey everyone
I was supposed to go to Hampshire College in the fall but it just closed. Reed had said they would take a late application given the situation and I’m seriously considering it.
A few questions:
How is Reed for science/psychology/ neuro? Is the thesis culture as intense as people say? I was drawn to Hampshire due to its independent research culture. Any transfer students here?
The one thing I don’t like about Reed is its location. any advice for someone who prefers smaller, more rural environments?
Thanks
Hey y'all hope you are doing well.
I have vertigo from the elation and utter turmoil that this application process has put me through.
Being from a middle class family from Idaho with a deceased mother and 3 siblings who; though they are out of the house, still require a solid amount of assistance from my father, made me believe I would get a reasonable offer from Reed.
My financial aid offer came back, I am being offered $25,000. On paper this figure is great, but Reed is $95,000.
How did the appeal process go for you guys? Do I just need to get my dad to disown me to get access to a good education?
(Details are intentionally vague so I don't dox myself or the alum of whom I am writing)
I graduated from Reed a "long* time ago. I got my alumni magazine yesterday, put it on the kitchen counter, opened it to a random page.....and the first item I saw was an In Memorium for another alum.
Horrible for them and their family.
They were my S.O. for a time while I was at Reed. We had fabulous times together including a school break trip to San Francisco and a winter break trip for two weeks in Europe.
We broke up amicably but stayed friends. We met once for lunch in D.C. almost 10 years after graduation. Years after that I was on a trip that included the city where they were living. I wanted to meet up again but they were away visiting relatives.
It's hard to read that while sitting in the kitchen next to my spouse (married forever) who I met just a couple of years after graduating. Do say how sad I feel about someone who had been the most important person in my life? Treacherous waters, to be sure.
No real point to this, just venting.
I hope you have a good day.
I was recently admitted to Reed College on a full academic scholarship, and right now my two choices are either that school or Bard College.
I come from a school that's not challenging and I'm worried I will drown under the workload of Reed, every one says it's really really bad and the only thing keeping me from choosing this school is the idea of not being able to keep up and being constantly under stress. My strengths are in reading and writing but I definitely have a weakness in math.
I was able to visit the school and I sat in on a theatre class since there were no bio classes available for sit-ins, I really really fell in love with the campus, but I'm so scared.
What was your experience like freshman year and up until whatever year you're in now?
And if applicable, what was your experience as a POC?
Has there been any waitlist movement yet? If not, when do the first waves usually go out? Hope we hear back soon
