I have a Question.

<p>I feel like many people on CC will benefit from this question for as I have been wondering. I don't understand what exactly a reach school means for a person. My GPA is not up to par so CMU is a reach school. Does that mean that I have around no chance to get in? Do I have around a 20%-30% chance, or am I completely out of the game? Also, I understand that the people on CC have different opinions and everything is eventually decided by the judgement of the admission officers. </p>

<p>My question is that what exactly will help me attain my reach school(besides essays)? </p>

<p>Roughly:
Safety-90-100% chance
Match-50-89%
Reach-20-49%</p>

<p>It depends though. Chance me? :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1616335-chance-me-and-i-ll-chance-back.html”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1616335-chance-me-and-i-ll-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
