You claim to be half Native American and half African American in another thread and that you live on a reservation.

@TomSrOfBoston Yes, sorry. That was on behalf of my friend, and thought it would be quicker to just assume his position for the sake of that thread

Cornell and Haverford are reaches. Vassar- high match. The others are matches.

@wisteria100 do you consider cornell and haverford to be reaches for everyone? Just trying to understand your standards for these terms “reaches”. Thanks, by the way!
