  18. Students primarily choose colleges based on their major of choice and whether or not they fit the admission criteria. Other factors include level of prestige, cost, location, size, and extracurricular activities. It is important for students to set realistic goals for themselves and apply to schools that are within or a little above their reach. Students should sort and classify the schools they apply to ensure they are setting realistic, possible college goals. Read the criteria below to determine if you are choosing colleges that within a reasonable set of expectations. Match: A match school is one where your academic credentials (GPA, SAT or ACT scores, and class rank) fall well within (or even exceed) the school's range for the average freshman. There are no guarantees, but it's not unreasonable to be accepted to several of your match school Reach: A reach school is one where your academic credentials fall below the school's range for the average freshman. Reach schools are long-shots, but they should still be possible (and not a dream). Safety: A safety school is one where your academic credentials fall above the school's range for the average freshman. You should be reasonably certain that you will be admitted to your safety schools. Like the rest of your list, these should also be colleges you'd be happy to attend. In addition to an admissions safety school, it's a good idea to include a financial safety school on your list, one that you and your family can afford even if you received no aid at all.
