[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like we may need to recalibrate whatever mechanism we are using for selecting the schools to which kids apply. What are people using as the rule of thumb? Should a reach be a school where your child has a 35% chance of getting in, target 36 - 70% chance of getting in and safety 71% - 100% chance of getting in? Is that reasonable?[/quote] It's really based on acceptance rates ( moreso in RD). Anything </= 20% is a reach for everyone regardless of the student's "high stats" profile. Targets can still be tricky, but the CDS provides good data. >[/quote]
