Not really. They only accepted 10% of EA applicants.

Rejected with 3.98 uw and 4.65 w GPA. Test optional. Wrote all essays. Showed lots of interest-- interview, in person info session, online info session, student panel. UGH!! What a colossal waste of time. Could have been using that time to write essays and study for classes.

Why test optional? If student is from area where testing was available, they may have suspected low test scores.

FYI, Reed did it old school via mail instead of portal. The package included a book (Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man), a journal and other stuff. Nicely reinforced the intellectual (and lefty) bent of the school.

DC had just gotten accepted ED at a school that's probably a better fit but I wanted to mention Reed as well as L&C here since they are a little off the beaten track for DCUM but both great schools.

Not a lot of kids out west apply to both of those schools. Reed is west coast Swarthmore. Lewis & Clark is more like west coast Richmond (minus the hoops). They're very different from each other.

Lewis and Clark is not as well regarded or known as U of Richmond. Same with Reed v Swarthmore (though I think Reed is probably underrated).

You've totally missed the point.

What is the point? These schools aren’t comparable. And this thread isn’t for mentioning schools for people to consider and comparing them to other schools.

PP whose kid got into Reed as well as Lewis & Clark. Yes, very different, but both strong academics for international relations which is kid's interest. (Reed obviously stronger but perhaps less of a good cultural fit for my kid.) Lewis & Clark also offered $30k/yr merit aid. His ED acceptance is at a great LAC that's really right for him, but wow $120k would have been tempting! Again just mentioning for future parents like me who will read these threads looking for ideas on where to apply.

Seems crazy your kid was denied when another with a lower GPA and test optional gets in. Don’t know what they are thinking!

Yeah, back in your mom's day. Now as per USNWR: Tulane University admissions is most selective with an acceptance rate of 11% and an early acceptance rate of 15%.

How on earth would you know his GPA?

Because the student only exists in her fertile imagination

I always laugh at the posts listing extremely specific stats and ECs about students the poster claims to "know." What a bunch of BS.
