Additional information for international applicants

Reed Writing Supplement

As part of your application, 制服巨乳 requests a writing supplement of up to 500 words. The writing supplement may be submitted via the Common or Coalition Application or emailed to admission@reed.edu. In your supplement, we ask that you address the following question:

For one week at the end of January, Reed students upend the traditional classroom hierarchy and teach classes about any topic they love, academic or otherwise. This week is known as Paideia after the Greek term signifying “education”—the complete education of mind, body and spirit. What would you teach that would contribute to the Reed community?

Testing Requirements

Reed will neither require nor use testing results from the SAT or ACT in our admission review for the fall 2025 cycle.

Results of additional tests, such as Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) may be submitted for Reed credits upon enrollment.

Taking either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing Service assessment (IELTS), or Duolingo is strongly encouraged for international students who do not speak English at home or attend a school where the language of instruction is not English. The average internet-based TOEFL score for international students entering Reed is 110.

Early Decision, Early Action, and Regular Decision

Most students apply to college through Early Action (EA) or Regular Decision (RD). Students can apply Regular Decision to as many schools as they would like, and in most cases can do the same with Early Action unless they are applying to a school with a Restrictive Early Action policy. The deadline for EA applications is November 1, with offers of admission sent out in early February. The deadlines for RD applications is January 15, with offers of admission sent out by April 1.

First-year applicants for whom Reed is their first-choice college may apply under our binding Early Decision (ED) plan. Students may submit an ED application to only one institution, although they may submit Early Action or Regular Decision applications to other institutions. If admitted to Reed under the ED plan, students are expected to withdraw all EA and RD applications to other colleges and to initiate no new applications.

Reed offers two timelines for ED; the only differences between applying ED I and ED II are the application deadline and notification dates. Traditionally, about 30 percent of Reed’s incoming class will enter through Early Decision. Students who want to choose between multiple offers of admission and financial aid should apply through the Early Action or Regular Decision plan.

  • International applicants may apply under any of the plans: EA, ED I, ED II, or RD.
  • If you are denied as an EA, ED I, or ED II candidate, you may not submit another application (RD) for the same year.

Why apply ED?

  • Your ED application is the strongest way to indicate your interest and passion for Reed. Your enthusiasm is important to admission professionals, and an ED application shows us you are serious about joining our community. 
    • Early Decision students embody what a past student body president said about her experience at Reed: “I found a community that embraced me. I wanted to embrace it back.”
  • Complete the college application process by November 1 (ED I) or December 20 (ED II) and enjoy the rest of your senior year with less stress.
  • If you are admitted to Reed, your ED application guarantees that you will get your first or second choice of residence hall. 
  • The admission rate for ED applicants is higher than other application rounds.
    • Why? It comes down to mutual enthusiasm. We want to bring students to Reed who are excited about being part of this community. Those students tend to be highly involved on campus, furthering the vitality and culture of Reed. 

Facts about Early Decision at Reed

  • Early Decision candidates are twice as likely to gain admission.

  • Every year, around 95% of admitted Early Decision students affirm their agreements and enroll at Reed. 

What about financial aid for ED applicants?

  • The financial aid process, from the evaluation of need to the awarding of aid, is the same for Early Decision, Early Action, and Regular Decision.
  • Reed meets 100% of the demonstrated need for all admitted students and families. Our financial aid is robust and generous.
  • Our financial aid office will work with you to make sure the information you provide is complete and accurate.

Credit Toward Graduation

AP, IB, and College Credit

If you have taken Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, or college courses during secondary school, we view this as significant evidence of your academic preparation. In some cases, incoming students may receive credit toward graduation for work completed before enrollment at Reed.

Students graduating from dual enrollment high school programs are considered first-year applicants to Reed, not transfer applicants.

First-Year Student College Credit Guide

Incoming students may receive credit toward graduation for work completed before enrollment at Reed.

Most transfer credit is granted through

  • successful completion of course work at accredited colleges and universities;
  • performance on the College Board's Advanced Placement exams;
  • internationally recognized academic programs, such as the International Baccalaureate, Abitur, or GCE A-levels.

Credit at Reed is based on a unit system. One Reed unit is the equivalent of four semester hours or six quarter hours from another institution.

Students may receive no more than 8 total units of pre-matriculation credit. Those 8 units may be from regular college courses, exam credit, or a combination of both. The successful transfer of pre-matriculation credit does not affect class standing at Reed. Students who successfully transfer pre-matriculation credit are still classified as first-year students and held to the Humanities 110 requirement.

Students who have attended college full time should consult the admission office's transfer guide for a more detailed description of transferring to Reed.

Dual Enrollment: Courses Completed at Other Institutions

Pre-matriculation credit is credit earned for academic work prior to enrolling at an institution of higher education. It includes:

College courses completed while in high school or as a non-degree-seeking student after high school graduation but prior to matriculating at Reed. These courses must appear on an official transcript from a regionally accredited post-secondary institution and meet Reed’s standards for transfer, and with a grade of C- or better. The Registrar shall be empowered to apply the credit for these courses toward Reed’s group and division requirements. Department or program committee approval is required to apply these courses toward major and minor requirements.

Advanced Placement Credit: College Board AP Exams

  • Approval of AP credit varies from department to department; however, all those granting credit require scores of 4 or 5.
  • Credit for AP tests will apply toward the 30 units of academic credit needed for graduation, but cannot be used to meet any other 制服巨乳 requirement.
  • Students are generally awarded one unit of credit for each AP exam.
  • No student may receive more than a total credit of eight units by means of AP or other exams.
Departmental Policies - AP Exams

For scores of 4 or 5 on the physics C exam (mechanics or electricity and magnetism), one unit of credit is granted for either or both. Students who wish to pursue physics at Reed are expected to enroll in Physics 101/102 or seek advanced placement by speaking with their academic advisers and physics faculty during orientation.

Precalculus No credit is granted for the precalculus exam.
