<p>when you say </p>
<p>Reach
Slight Reach
Match
Safe Match</p>
<p>ect</p>
<p>I've noticed that a lot of people have different conceptions of it, and was wondering what everyone else's .</p>
<p>Mine is like Reach - 10%
Slight Reach - 25%
Match - 50%
Safe Match - 70%+</p>
<p>etc.*</p>
<p>Most don't go by percents, but those seem about right. I'd say 'safety' for 85%+.</p>
<p>My school uses the terms "realistic challenge", "50-50" and "likely". Basically, a "realistic challenge" is a reach school, but not one that is totally out of the question, a "50-50" is like a match (you basically have the stats for the school, but it could potentially go either way) and "likely" is basically a safety (you are basically in here, but they can't make any guarantees).</p>
