What's your ratio of reaches/matches/safeties?

Applying to College
41

<p>10 reach
3 match
2 safety</p>

42

<p>6 reaches
3 low matches/safeties</p>

<p>COOOOOOOOOL</p>

<p>the thing is, when your stats are high enough, anything that would be a "match" based on the numbers is actually a "reach" sooo :///</p>

43

<p>1 reach, 1 semi-reach, 1 match, 3 safeties.</p>

44

<p>2 reaches
1 high match
2 safeties</p>

45

<p>mine is 0:1:1 :D</p>

46

<p>3 reaches
4 matches
3 safeties</p>

47

<p>7 reaches (1 EA)
2 matches (both rolling)
1 safety</p>

<p>Thankfully, I already got into one of my matches (Wisconsin), so I can b-r-e-a-t-h-e now.</p>

48

<p>The problem I have is that I don't know where to draw the line between matches and reaches. Most of my matches are really good or top schools, so I feel like it'd be a bit pretentious of me to call them matches instead of reaches. And then I have reaches too. I guess I have 1 or 2 safeties, but I really hope I don't have to go to a safety school and so I haven't been really thinking about those.</p>

49

<p>3 reaches
3 matches
4 safeties</p>

<p>Yeah, true.</p>

51

<p>3 Safeties (I think)
3 Matches
5 Reaches</p>

52

<p>2 reaches
2 matches
2 safeties</p>

<p>I didn't actually intend for it to come out even like that...</p>

53

<p>if you live in CA, just apply to as many ucs and use them as safeties and matches; and since it's 1 app for all the UCs, you have space for lots of reaches.</p>
