I love the discussion of what constitutes safeties/matches/reaches. I don’t think this thread is the right one for it, however. @Illinoisparent12 has asked for a discussion about her daughter’s college list, and the philosophical discussion on applicants’ chances and what safeties/matches/reaches means doesn’t really belong. It’d be great if a new thread was started to discuss it (where I’d be highly likely to join in 
), or perhaps it can go on this thread Changing College List Categories from Reaches/Safeties to Unlikely/Extremely Likely which might not be the perfect thread title for the discussion, but far more relevant there than here. Or someone can create a new thread.
