[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rising sophomore DD came home at the end of last year and told me her school's counselors consider a school a safety, target, or reach based on the student's individual chances of getting in (mostly GPA and SAT/ACT-based). E.g., a target is where you have between a 25-75 chance of getting in. I've never heard anyone phrase it this, and it feels off to me, because, for example, MIT is a reach for everyone no matter how high their scores, yes? I feel like it it'll give her and her classmates a too-optimistic view of where they might be admitted?[/quote] yes that is how our CCO at private did it, based on the high school's data in recent 3 yrs. Her chancing estimates were spot on. and yes MIT and a handful of others are reach for everyone. some T15/ivy with ED are targets for the very top 1-2 students. RD for the same schools are reach for everyone even those same top 1-2 kids[/quote]
