<p>Thanks for the reply. Could you elaborate on what low match, high match means?</p>

<p>Low match is when a school is likely to accept you but there’s still room for rejection (or a near-safety)</p>

<p>High match is when a school is likely to reject you but there’s still room for acceptance (or a near-reach)</p>

<p>Really? That’s interesting; I thought UVA would be more of a reach than W&M.</p>
