[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] Target does not have a set definition--unless a particular high school defines the term for all students. To me, a target school is a first choice school for which the applicant's numbers and qualifications are at least at or near the median.[/quote] This is why I don’t get why the acceptance percentage matters at non top 30 schools. that percentage gives you no data as to what the stats were of all those rejected.[/quote]
