Presentation transcript:

TARGET VS. REACH VS. SAFETY

Target Schools A target school is one that you really, really, really want to attend, and where your stats match their admissions standards: You meet or exceed their GPA You meet or exceed their standardized test score requirements The rest of your application is strong

Reach Schools Think about a reach school as that dream school – Harvard, Princeton, USC, etc… You fall short in one area, but exceed the other requirements: Maybe your GPA and transcript are stellar, but you didn’t quite hit the mark on your SAT You rocked the ACT, but that one C- in freshman English knocked your GPA You have a strong essay and letters of recommendation.

Safety Schools You feel very confident about your chances of getting accepted, you wouldn’t be embarrassed to tell people about it, and you would genuinely enjoy attending that college. Your stats exceed all the requirements, and the subjective parts of your application will blow them away!

The 10 Worst Reasons For Choosing a College My boyfriend/girlfriend is going there My friend is going there My counselor/teacher said it would be a good fit It’s a party school It’s got all this prestige It’s the only school I know about My parents went there It looks cool on the virtual tour It is as far away from home as I can get I got accepted and I want to stop applying
