[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Target/match: overall acceptance rate is better than 20% and they admit MOST students like you. Likely/safety: they admit ALL students like you. Best way to figure this out is look at the green check marks on Naviance. Ignore outliers. [/quote] My thought is that: Target schools are schools that are the best fit for the applicant. Target schools may be in any category of reach, match, likely, or safety. Match schools are more focused on matching stats of the applicant with the 50% to 75% or higher stats of the college or university and admit over 25% of all applicants who apply under similar guidelines (EA, ED, or RD). Likely schools admit over 50% of applicants with similar stats. Safety schools are schools to which the applicant is almost certain to receive an offer of admittance.[/quote]
