[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused. I thought these were the tiers: safety/likely, match/target, and reach/dream. But it seems like several posters have used &quot;likely&quot; as a synonym for &quot;match&quot; instead. [/quote]

This is the issue when your stats are high. Your match schools tend to have &lt;20% acceptance rate or even lower, which means they are a reach for everyone. Basically, there are more high stats kid than spots in the top ranked schools' freshman classes, and none of them only take high stats kids. This means, every year, high stats kids get shut out of the top schools, and this has always been the case. Many &quot;lower ranked&quot; schools have very high stat students. It is also a problem for a high stat kid who thinks she is too good for a lower ranked school -- she's going to have competition there and may not realize it until its too late.[/quote]

So when you get passed over at work by mediocre coworkers, don’t overestimate  your mediocre skill set. We don’t wanna see another Karen going off on the National tv over some big nothing. [/quote]
