<p>Interesteddad-are the hooked applicants generally those below the 25% score? Again taking the schools with >50% admits if your score falls in the range why not place it in the match category. Especially if some other factor may help say -you are from NJ and they only get 3 NJ students enrolled. I guess what I am asking is would the 1190-1390 range for a NJ kid applying to midwest school be a safer match then a 1190-1390 range NE school?
By the way I agree with your other points - you have given me valuable things to consider.</p>
