<p>according to test scores.
For example:
above 75 percentile = safety
over 50 percentile = match</p>
<p>something like that^^^</p>
<p>super reach- only a miracle can save you 1% chance
reach- I would say a 15-25% chance because you dont qualify.
slight reach- 35% chance because your below average but still are legitament.
match- 50/50 chance. you are the mean of what they look for.
safety- you in. 90-100% sure</p>
<p>I wouldn't call over the 75th percentile a safety. A 770 verbal, 780 math does not make Brown University a safety :).</p>
<p>There's more to getting into a school than percentiles. I think Future's numbers are more along the lines.</p>
<p>75th was an example, that's why I'm asking all the CCers cuz I don't know...</p>
<p>give me your stats and ill tell you examples of schools that are reaches safeties etc.</p>
<p>SAT I: M800, CR660, W660 (2120/2400 or 1460/1600)
SAT II: 800, 800, 750
GPA: 4.0 UW (All As for most difficult course load)
Rank: 1 of 400
ECs: Pretty Weak</p>
<p>Ohh, I thought it was just your opinion, I didn't know you were asking.</p>
<p>Safeties are really hard to tell just by test scores. Just being in-state can make a school a safety with the same scores as someone out-of-state who considers it a match at the least. There are a lot of factors. It's really hard to generalize what can make a school a safety.</p>
<p>Ya, I think I didn't make it clear that I was asking, but ya, there are a lot of factors but I was wondering what kind of test scores qualify.</p>
<p>Harvard- reach (due to reading SAT)
Also MIT- reach</p>
<p>Duke, Univ. of Penn.- slight reach</p>
<p>UCLA, UCB, UF, Northwestern, UChicago, Georgetown- match</p>
<p>everywhere else like UCD, UCI, blah blah- safety</p>
<p>btw nice stats</p>
<p>No school besides community colleges will you have 100% chance of admission.</p>
<p>Safety = 95-99% chance</p>
<p>Safe match is like 80-90%</p>
<p>Match is more like 60-70% chance of getting in.</p>
<p>Slight reach = 40-50%</p>
<p>Reach = 20-30%</p>
<p>The OP's chance of getting into UCLA/UCB = Safe match (like 80-90%). It's very rare for valedictorians who scored very well on the SATs to get rejected from those schools.</p>
<p>Super Reach: <1%
Reach: 20%
Slight Reach: 40%
Match: 60%
Safe Match: 80%
Safety: 99%
Super Safety: >99%</p>
