Are we doing enough for our kids' mental health?

I like the classifications too.

I like this very much. It also aligns with reality much better than the terms we’ve been using. For example, there has been a lot of angst about kids not being admitted to “match” schools - the term implies that admission is very likely and that isn’t always the case. Possible is a more realistic way of looking at it. Also, for reaches “unlikely” is a much better description of what is apt to happen as opposed to “reach” which implies extra effort can result in admission (as we know, not true).

Since the feedback in this thread was pretty positive about making a switch to the unlikely-extremely likely classification, I suggested the change in this sticky: How to post a Chance Me or Match Me (reverse chance me) thread -- START HERE

If you want to voice your thoughts on that thread for admins to read, the idea might get some more attention.
