<p>“Chicago (RD) I think it’s a high target”</p>

<p>What is “high target”?</p>

<p>HYPSMCCCP, Duke, Dartmouth, Brown will have RD acceptance rate 10% or below.
MEANS only 1 in 10 gets into those colleges. (Lower chances if you are an unhooked applicant.)</p>

<p>Also, remember, OP is an Asian male.</p>
