Schools where your ACT falls at or below the 25th percentile must be considered reaches for an unhooked applicant. It is fine to apply to a couple of reach schools – you might have a particular attribute or talent the school is looking for – but it would be a mistake for you (or any unhooked applicant for that matter) to pin all your hopes, dreams, and self-worth on being accepted.
As long as you took the time to build a well balanced college application list which includes not only reach schools but also a number of match and safety schools that appear affordable (hopefully you ran net price calculators) and that you would be excited to attend then you should end up with some really good choices at the conclusion of the process.
