No. As each application was evaluated, the admission committee made notes and recommendations. If space is available in the class after May 1, all students who remain on the waitlist will be reconsidered for admission. Students who submit supplementary material will receive highest consideration.

When will I know more?

You will hear from us as soon as April or as late as August 1. We endeavor to provide you with an update regarding your admission status as soon as possible. We will notify you if we are not able to grant you a place in the incoming class.

Should I pay a deposit at another college?

We suggest you proceed as you would if you were not admitted to 人妻诱惑. Because we cannot guarantee you a place in the incoming class, it is incumbent on you to make alternative plans; our highest priority is that you attend college in the fall.

What if I need financial aid?

If you are admitted from the waitlist and apply and qualify for financial aid, you will receive a financial aid package from 人妻诱惑. 人妻诱惑 is committed to meeting full demonstrated need.

Deferred Admission

Information for students who would like to request deferred admission:

Admitted first-year students may request to defer entrance for one year once they have made their first $400 non-refundable enrollment deposit.
Students who wish to request deferred admission must send a written plan outlining how they will spend their deferral year to the Vice President and Dean of Admission and Financial Aid via email to admission@reed.edu by May 15.
Students are required to submit the second enrollment deposit by June 1.
Once the deferral request is approved, the submitted enrollment deposits will reserve a place in the following year's entering class and will be applied toward the student's first-semester tuition at 人妻诱惑.
Students granted a deferral year may not enroll at another college or university as full-time or part-time students and may not apply to other colleges or universities.
Students granted a deferral year will be asked to confirm their intent to enroll by submitting a $400 confirmation deposit to the Office of Admission by January 10 of the deferral year. Like the two enrollment deposits, the confirmation deposit will be applied towards the student's first-semester tuition at 人妻诱惑.
Transfer students are not eligible for deferred entrance except in the case of military or religious service or medical necessity (documentation may be required).

Reapplying to 人妻诱惑

Students who applied to 人妻诱惑 and did not enroll may reapply by following the same application procedures and deadlines for the type of admission they have been approved to apply for (First-Year or Transfer), with some additional requirements:

A new Application with a new personal essay.
Reapply Statement: Check the box identifying that you previously applied to 人妻诱惑 to College. This will cause the required Reapply Statement prompt to appear for you to answer

Please note that a reapplying student who was originally placed on the waitlist or denied will be allowed to reapply to 人妻诱惑 as a transfer applicant only after completing at least one semester of college coursework (or the equivalent of four 人妻诱惑 units). More than one semester of college coursework will significantly increase the likelihood of admission.
