What is the difference between match & high match and reach and low reach? @Gumbymom
In the chancing scheme:
Safety>Low Match>Match>High Match>Low Reach>Reach>High Reach
Safety would be >80% chance for an acceptance while High Reach would be less than 10% chance.
Match is around 50-60% High Match less than 50% etc…

@samhyder , I recommend starting a new thread instead of hijacking someone else’s.
okay sorry brand new to this, thanks for letting me know
No need to apologize, @samhyder – it’s a common newbie faux pas. By the way, your stats pretty good for the schools on your list
