[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are missing the math on reaches. My kid is waiting on 5 reach RD schools. College vine says we have the following chances to get in: 25% 20% 20% 15% 15% So chance of rejection: 75% 80% 80% 85% 85% Multiply all the rejection % .75*.8*.8*.85*.835 = 35% We have a 35% chance to be rejected by the 5 remaining reaches. So he’s not counting too much on the reaches. And that’s with a good recommendation and good essays. [/quote] Each school is individual. Your chance of rejection is still 75%, 80, 80, 85 and 85%. Not 35%. [/quote] Nope, you have a 35% chance of being rejected by all of them. Or, a 65% chance of getting at least one acceptance. [/quote] Nope, school A has nothing to do with School B. Applying to more schools does not change your chances of acceptance at one school. [/quote]
