How to read these numbers
- The 2025 rate covers Reed College's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
- 1320–1490 is the middle half of admitted scores, not a cutoff: a quarter of admitted students scored below 1320, and a quarter scored above 1490.
- The table above holds 13 reported years, 2013 through 2025. Across them Reed College's rate ranged from 24.6% to 48.5%, so any single year is one point inside that range.
Each figure above describes a class a school already admitted in a completed cycle. It is a record of who was admitted, not a measurement of any one application.
