I’d say match is in the middle of the cluster. Safety is above and/or to the right. The average is not very accurate for a small number of data points.

Also consider honors colleges for the matches and safeties, which might have different criteria, but also a better experience for your child.

Finally, as you compile your list look at finances and see what is affordable. I am encouraging my son to look at Alabama, at least as a safety, because of the amazing merit aid for OOS available. The savings alone would almost pay for grad school. (I’d consider ‘safety’ for financial reasons as well as admittance. What if something happened to you, or the markets crashed, etc…)
