<p>I'm not a legacy, or Catholic. I believe I have above average essays, and pretty good recommendations. My school doesn't really offer a lot of advanced classes besides college classes through a community college. I also have 6 hours of college credit hours from my junior year.</p>

<p>Notre Dame: Reach (but it’s a school you can realistically get into)</p>

<p>What does reach mean?</p>

<p>Safety - >95% chance you’ll get in
Low Match - 70%
Match - 50%
High Match - 30%
Low Reach - 20%
Reach - 10%
High Reach <5%</p>

<p>+/- 5-10%</p>

<p>Notre Dame - High Match / Low Reach</p>

<p>Bump… Bump</p>

<p>So I only have a 10-25% chance of getting, but its a school that I can realistically get into? I’m just confused by what this means.</p>

<p>I think ND is a match or a high match. I wish you the best of luck! I got in EA. My sister goes to ND and is having the time of her life.</p>
