[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the school. Harvard rejects almost all of the 4.0 and 1600 kids it gets, so even though those stats are at or above the 75th, it's not a target or even a low reach unless you have a Nobel Prize. But a school like Purdue, which is a reach for many people, probably accepts the majority of kids over the 75th. It could well be a match for a highly capable kid. I would look at that top right corner on the scattergram and see what you see. If it's a sea of acceptances, then you're probably OK thinking of it as a target, especially if the acceptance rate is above the teens. If the acceptance rate is under 20, and/or the top right corner is a mix of acceptances, rejections and waitlists, then I would assume it's still a reach. [/quote]
