Fit categories
Each badge is student relative: it reads your academics against the school's admitted profile and selectivity.
| Badge | Meaning | Keep on your list |
|---|---|---|
| Likely | Your academics at or above the school's admitted profile | A few anchors |
| Target | Your academics in range for the school's admitted profile | Most of your list |
| Reach | Your academics below the admitted profile, still possible | A handful |
| Far reach | A long shot against the admitted profile | One or two |
For how the badge is calculated, see Understanding fit.
