Colleges that are Reaches for Anybody...

<p>

</p>

<p>Note that this is a slightly different question from the thread title. This question asks for colleges which are not safeties for anyone, as opposed to colleges which are reaches for everyone.</p>

<p>For example, Berkeley and UCLA are selective enough (without any “guaranteed admit” criteria) to not be safeties for anyone, but there are some students who could consider them matches, rather than reaches (probably something like >4.2 UC-weighted GPA, >700 on all SAT sections).</p>

<p>In other cases, schools that are not that selective by stats, but consider “level of applicant’s interest” in admissions are not safeties for anyone, but could be considered matches for significant numbers of students.</p>
