Reach Universities

A good place to start with your  List of schools to apply to is with the  list of "Reach programs.


  Aspirational is another tag for  reach schools.A reach school is  one that you think you wil not get into and that it is out of reach. However if you set your goals high  and apply your self  to the task there is no reason  you cannot convert "out if reach" to "within reach"

 The canonical reach  schools are the  ivy  league universities. However  top STEM  universities and elite liberal arts colleges also fit in this list. Many big Research  universities are also in this category
