Looking for Reaches

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Here are my basic stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.85 UW/4.01 W
ACT: 33
SAT II's: Math II - 750, Chemistry - 700,
PSAT (if it helps (I guess)): 208 and I was commended</p>

<p>I am applying to Vassar, Univ. of Wisc. Mad, MSU, Colgate, Skidmore. I got some advice to look for some colleges that are more reachy, but that I have a shot at getting into. Any advice or colleges you mention would be helpful!</p>

<p>There is absolutely no reason to seek “reaches” if you are happy with the list you have.</p>

<p>Well, I didn’t mean “reaches” exactly, but school that would fit my gpa, act, etc. More schools that match me.</p>

<p>Why? Are there things that you are looking for that you are lacking in your current list?</p>

<p>Agree, and depending on your class rank, you’ve already got reaches.</p>
