I'm curious if Reed College uses a rolling admissions process or if they have set deadlines. It would help me manage my application timeline better if I knew for sure. Anyone have insights on this?
Reed College does not use a rolling admissions process. Instead, they have set deadlines. They offer a binding Early Decision I with a deadline in early November, as well as an Early Decision II and Regular Decision, both of which typically have deadlines in January. They also offer a non-binding, Early Action option with a deadline in early November.
Remember, early decision plans are binding — a student who is accepted as an ED applicant must attend the college. Regular Decision applicants, though, have until May 1 to confirm their decision to attend. If you're having a hard time deciding, it might be helpful to consider these timelines and what they mean for your decision-making process.
