<p>What should my ratio of safety/target/reach schools that I'm applying to be? For example, should I have more target or reach schools? and how do you determine for sure whether a college is considered safety/target/reach? Because the only thing we can base it on are the school's freshman profile of rankings, GPA and test scores. the rest like extracurriculars, essays, recs are all up to the admissions office.</p>
