It’s possible that these schools could represent both “matches” and “reaches”. More like matches if applying ED, but more like reaches if applying RD. Keep in mind that the ED and RD processes are now of roughly equal importance at these schools.
At Lafayette, for example, the accepted students for the Class of 2021 had 25-75% ACT range of 30-33. Based on those numbers, Laf might seem like a “reach” for an applicant with 29 ACT.
But for ED admits specifically, the ACT range was significantly lower, at 27-31. Based on the ED numbers, a 29 ACT seems more like a potential “match”.
