Safety, Target, and Reach schools?

College Search & Selection
1

I’m trying to finalize my college list but don’t really know what counts as a target school for me. I have a 4.54 weighted GPA, have taken/am taking 7 APs with all 5s on the AP exams (in a school where you can only start taking APs in junior year), 1580 on the SAT, play violin (regions, all-state, all-eastern), am a black belt in Taekwondo, and a buncha other mostly community service oriented extracurriculars.

I guess what I’m asking is what acceptance rates would count as “target” schools for me.

Schools with acceptance rates of 25% or higher should be reasonably open to you with a well-crafted application. Schools with acceptances rates as low as 20% may be similarly accessible to you in most cases.
