[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are the lines drawn on these categories? Is a safety 90% chance and above? Possibility 75% chance and above? We're still a couple of years out from applying but I can't sort out the lines between safety and possibility and possibility and reach. Please help me understand. [/quote] The lines have blurred dramatically since I applied for college back in the 80's. Today well-qualified students are being rejected from schools they should be shoo-ins for simply because the college suspects it was targeted as a safety. And outliers are getting into reaches, leaving everyone confused. And what used to be a reach for some are now reaches for EVERYONE. I'd recommend reading up on (today's) admissions process, as there are tons of books out there on this topic. And when it's time to start applying, choose a 2 in each category.[/quote]
