<p>What you guys mean when you say that a college is a "reach"? Does this mean that your chances of getting in are slightly low?</p>
<p>Yep. Some schools, like Ivies and schools of the sort, are reaches for anyone, but some certain ones are reaches for them based on their grades, EC`s, test scores, etc. Reach schools mean your criteria falls below the average of the students attending. Long shots, but can still be possible.</p>
