<p>Some of the schools in BuBBLES FoR SALE Class I list can be matches for some students, based on Naviance. </p>
<p>I define match as a 35.00-94.99% chance of getting in. For my kids, I estimated their chances using Naviance and rounded to the nearest 10%. Then we considered reach 0-30%, match 40-90%, and safety 100% (really 95-100%). </p>
<p>Some of the class I schools were clearly matches, and some of the class II schools (Amherst, Swarthmore, Williams) were reaches, based on this method. </p>
<p>People on CC often underestimate their chances. Naviance can be an excellent tool to correct that. </p>
<p>For our school, WUSTL is a reach for everyone because there is no rhyme or reason to who they admit, and they accepted hardly anyone. Those who were accepted had a 3.5 average GPA. Most people who were competitive were waitlisted and didn’t choose to remain on the waitlist.</p>
