The point is that schools with a sub 20% acceptance rate are reaches for all applicants, even ones with impressive stats and achievements like your student’s.

That is why UVA (even with legacy), UT Austin, U Michigan, and quite possibly some of the engineering majors at UCD and UCI, should be classified as reaches.

With that said your student may well be accepted at one of their reaches, and posters have given many good suggestions in this thread for true target schools, have any of those made it onto the list?

Lastly, if there are any cost constraints, you should let us know that, because that could change the list of schools as well.
