[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a top student, where and how do you draw the line? How do you define these terms for yourself.

I know none of this matters, I just find lists and categories helpful. For example, no matter how high my kid's scores and grades are, I would say any school with a less than 20% acceptance rate is a reach. Should it actually be 25%? 35?

its all contextual. you have to look at Scoir for your school. some show over 75% acceptance rate for certain T25s for anyone in the top5% of the class, excluding hooks for schools that remove them, despite the overall accept rate of under 20% for that college. this is a detail where college counselors at the school can give accurate information on each student's chances. there are T15 schools that are considered targets for the #1 or 2 kid at our private school if they have top rigor. theres couple of T25 privates that are likelies for the same people. so far they have predicted accurately for all my kids including D25 and his peers so far.
