@saraheliza862 : Schools that appear to be reaches can be high matches for very strong applicants. This could be the case for you at Wesleyan, though of course if you would like to be conservative, you should regard it as a reach. With sincere demonstrated interest, Connecticut College might be a low match. However, if you didn’t like Wesleyan, I wouldn’t think you would like CC either. I might have suggested Vassar, but again, I’d think it’s too similar to Wesleyan to appeal to you.
