In terms of chancing, what does "match" mean?

<p>Newb question I know <__< but I've seen it used a lot around here and I am little confused as to how it should it be applied.</p>

<p>Like, how does a "high match" compare to a "low match" and such?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>“match” usually means that the school is on-par with one’s stats, and he or she will likely get in but not with certainty. </p>

<p>“high match” is similar, but the chances are slightly less. “low match” means acceptance is very likely, but not so much so that one would call it a safety.</p>

<p>I see…so essentially you want to be matched to a school and the lower you are matched the more likely you are to get into that school?</p>

<p>Yep .</p>
