<p>Wrong forum but the higher Ivies will be a high reach. Lower Ivys will still be a reach but a bit more realistic. As sad as it is, being Hispanic helps.. a lot. So thats a bonus for you. Lower your standards by a bit .. and get some more matches and safeties and you may sneak in an acceptance or two from one of your reaches.</p>
