I understand that they’re reaches for even the best students, but if they’re practically impossible for me (i.e. unrealistic even as reaches) then I’d probably have to rework my entire college list (i.e. the original matches become my new reaches, safeties - posted above - become matches, and I’ll have to find new schools that are actually safe for me).
I thought I’d a pretty good idea of what a reach/match/safety was for me, but now I’m not so sure.
