<p>Honestly, the best advice anyone can give is, after finding the group of schools you want to go to and one or two safeties completely forget about matches, reaches, high reaches, and safeties. Just apply to the schools and you'll be alright. Theres nothing that you can do if you know the school is a match as opposed to a reach. Apply to the schools you want, including all the competitive ones you want. You'll get in somewhere good.</p>

<p>Chances aren't really worth thinking about.</p>
