[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reach = school where anyone applying has a less than 5% chance of acceptance, even if they are a 4.0/1600/All-State QB etc.[/quote] Nah. A read is student dependent. For almost anyone, MIT is a reach, but for some, JMU is a reach (Unhooked, 3.0 wgpa). My DD, a strong but not elite student,thought she applied to a reach ED. Looking at Naviance it was more of a match. It is also the right school for her personality. So, there was no reason to apply to a reach. (she applied to 4 matches and 5 safeties); Matches were. W& M , VT, UIUC and Purdue. Safeties were Miami of Ohio, UDEL, Iowa State, Indiana, and Mich State. She got good merit at most of the safeties and none of the matches. In the end, the safeties all has costs similar to VT in state. But, she chose W & M.[/quote]
