Would anyone be willing to reed my Why Reed essay?

I'd love some input from you guys seeing as how most of you got in to Reed, so your essays had to be stellar. Mine is on the rather long end from what I've heard, but the question asks me to be thorough and I think I have been. So, anybody up for it?

Edit: Just finished it. I'm very very happy with it, so I don't see a lot of it changing, so the word count will remain quite steady. It clocks in at 1,308 words. Like I said, rather long, but I needed to say it all.
