Thanks, this is very helpful.

Question: By “middle of the accepted range” do you mean the corner of the box where the averages intersect, or in the middle of a healthy cluster of acceptances?

Any sense of the level of significance of falling inside the “average” box vs. outside? Obviously, outside is better, but I’m trying to gauge how much to read into that in terms of assessing when we’ve moved from reach to match to safety.

And yes, I’ve definitely noticed that there are some schools that seem to have little interest in applicants from our school, no matter how highly qualified, and vice versa. Obviously there’s a lot of variability in perception.
