<p>and furthermore, i want to emphasis that reach schools by definition are ones that just have too few spots for all the qualified applicants, as i said above and before, and furthermore you apply to the schools you want to go to and you feel like you have a shot at…now…its not a reach academically for most people, but statistically we all go in with the same low shots…hell, do you think any of the kids who applied to yale with a 2400 thought that they would get rejected!!! i doubt it but even though they did its not like they still aren’t smart enough to study there! the point is that intellectually these schools are not reaches for many of us that apply, but its the statistics that hold us back.</p>
