<p>I agree with the conclusion. My only difference, is I’d call them all ‘matches’ but recognize that in this category, ‘match’ doesn’t necessarily mean likely. As I said in an earlier post, this is a semantic difference, not a substantive one.</p>
<p>I’m glad I guessed right. haha
I guess I’m going easier on you than everyone else, but that may be because the nerves are on me for applying as well. (Brown ED). </p>
<p>You are a match at all of them. Like previously stated, you’ll get in at one of those schools, and the first generation aspect helps, too. Just apply to some of the schools listed you’re interested in, and surely, you’ll find yourself at one next fall.</p>
<p>“If students such as you applied to the top 10 colleges in the country chances are that you’d be admitted at 4-6 of them.”</p>
<p>I don’t think the statement is true for Asian Americans.</p>
<p>I agree with 20more.
There often are no matches for kids with your stats. Most want to reach for the top 20. For these top schools, many applicants will have similiar stats. </p>
<p>Disregarding finances, </p>
<p>I define REACH as any school with acceptance rates <25% and your stats in the 50% or above </p>
<p>MATCH = acceptance rates 25-35% AND your stats above the 75% or acceptance rates 35-65% AND your stats above the 50% </p>
<p>Safety = acceptance rates > 65% AND your stats above the 50%
or your stats in the top 25%.</p>
<p>I good start to find matches for your states is to look at US News rankings 40-70.
I am also a firm believer that high stat kids do NOT need “match” schools. IMO, find good safeties, apply to 2-3 and then apply to top schools. Of course, if you like schools in the match range, apply. I’m just against a student “forcing” an application just because they believe everyone needs to apply to a match.</p>
