<p>There is no “official” definition. In general, you can view a “match” as meaning your stats/ECs/etc are typical for admitted students at that school. A low match means your stats are a bit better, while a high match means they are a bit worse. A “safety” would be a school that you’re 90+% likely to be accepted at, while a “reach” is unlikely (but could still happen).</p>
<p>At UF, your stats put you in the middle 50% of admitted students. However, your GPA and Class Rank (UF likes the top 10%) is just a bit low, so you’re a Match to High Match. UF uses holistic admissions, so you should never view it as a “safety”, the admission process is just too random. Finally, UF offers limited OOS scholarships, so even if you’re accepted, you may find it way too expensive with OOS tuition ($28+K a year), unless you land one of the rare OOS scholarships or your family can afford the OOS tuition. </p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
