TARGET SCHOOLI match-up well with the
admission standards (ACT/rank-GPA) for this
school, it has the majors and programs I want,
and I am fairly confident I will be
admitted.Most of the schools I apply to should
be in this category.
REACH SCHOOLI dont measure up to the
published admissions standards for this school,
but I want to take a shot at it anyway.I can
feel okay about applying to one or two of these
schools if I have done a good job of identifying
safe and target schools.
SAFE SCHOOLI know I will be admitted, and
while this may not be my first choice, I could
see myself going to this school.I should apply
to at least one of these schools.
