<p>Using the Princeton's Review Counselor-O-Matic, certain colleges and universities appeared as a result of the things that I'm looking for, each divided into one of the 3 categories: Good Matches, Reaches, and Safeties. I would like to know what each category exactly means, and what is referred to by the "Reach Schools", which have the schools I'm most interested in.</p>
<p>Safeties are schools that you're very qualified for. You'd most likely be accepted into those if you apply.</p>
<p>Reaches are schools that are extremely selective. You have a small chance for getting in, either because you don't meet their high requirements, or because there're lots of people applying (or both..)</p>
<p>Matches are the middle ground...</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, Crash_Blair, I'll look into it then</p>
