[quote=Anonymous]I still think it depends on the school and the student. There is no universal answer to this question. It depends on why the school is a reach. If you are a top-flight, super smart, and capable student, you likely will be able to do the work anywhere. The reach schools for you aren't "reaches" because you will have to stretch to do well there, they are "reaches" because the acceptance rates are so low that no applicant, no matter how stellar, can count on getting in. I think many people have the notion that the curriculum at the top colleges is extremely difficult. That often is not the case. The top colleges are hard to get into. That doesn't mean they are "hard." Some are, for some kids. Some aren't.[/quote]
