How many colleges should you apply to?

Students should apply to five or more colleges.  These colleges should include at least one Reach School, one Match School, and one Safety School. (See below for explanation of each)

• Reach School

  • Your academic credentials fall below the college's acceptance range for the average first-year student. This is a long shot, but is possible.

• Match School

  • Your academic credentials fall within or exceed the college's acceptance range for the average first-year student. This is not a guarantee, but you have an acceptable chance of being accepted.

• Safety School

  • Your academic credentials fall above the college's acceptance range for the average first-year student.  You will be more than likely to be admitted.
