Hello stranger. You might regard me as kind of a creeper for leaving this, but oh well.
I just wanted to let you know that I'm thoroughly ecstatic for you, having felt kind of like your Reed-admissions-twin this past academic year. :D (~reed2011) But then again, after getting deferred ED1, I didn't get waitlisted -- so you win at that.
You've always struck me as so epic-ly excited about Reed, so I'm sure this is awesome for you. And I thought I should tell you that you rock for getting in.
(Also please appreciate it wholeheartedly for those of us who aren't able to go there.)
I wish I could express in words how incredibly moved I was by your comment. Alas, all I can say is Thank You! and hope you understand that what you have said is going to stick with me for a very long time.
This whole process has been such an emotional rollercoaster with Reed and I do appreciate it all the more for my experience.
I take it from the comment you were either not accepted or have some extraordinary circumstance, either way it is a shame. Seeing the type of person you are from this one post already makes me think it was a mistake if you weren't admitted.
Where will you be this fall? Regardless, I wish you the best of luck!
Nope -- I wasn't accepted. Got a fateful envelope in early April instead of the larger package I would've preferred to receive. Thankfully being deferred meant I had all ready dealt with most of the emotional trauma that meant, considering how madly in love with Reed I was. My numbers just weren't high enough to make the cut, and I guess my essays and my interview weren't enough to supplement that.
I'm headed to The Evergreen State College in the fall, and I have a classmate going to Reed actually -- so I'll see if he'll let me visit for Renn Fayre at least. I guess the stars just weren't aligned right for this one. Who knows, there might be something more for me at Evergreen. Certainly a lot more nature, though I loved Portland and I'm sure I'll be visiting often since a really close friend of mine is going to be at L&C this fall.
I'm Erica, by the way. Maybe we'll bump into each other sometime when I'm Reed-stalking in person next year.
