A couple things to consider. There’s more to a reach/match school than just stats. Cost should be your #1 consideration. If it’s a private or out of state school, it could be a statistical match, but a big financial reach without a scholarship. Talk to your parents on how much school they’re willing to pay for. The student loan cap for a 4 year degree is 27k. Anything over that has to be covered by your parents or a scholarship. If you don’t have a scholarship, and the school is requiring a parent contribution of $150k, most parents are going to think twice about paying that.
