[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something I was surprised about was that the College office defined a target as a “50/50 school.” Basically a coin flip. Before talking to them, I thought a target to be more like a match or a likely. A target is school where a kid has a 50% chance of acceptance - certainly not a sure bet. [/quote] +1 if you apply to a school within the 30 and 50% range but it is a target for you that doesn’t mean that a person is likely to be accepted. There’s a 40 to 50% chance they will not be accepted. To me target means your stats are within range and you match the typical student at the school.[/quote] You have to think of target as beyond matching the profile. That is why everyone is upset when they don’t get in. They figure they were just as good as current students, why not me. Important to remember a target is like a coin flip, even if you match or exceed student profile. [/quote]
