The correct answer is C. Reach college.
A reach college is one where your academic qualifications are below the institution’s average admitted student. This means there is less than a 50 percent chance of being accepted based on those qualifications. It’s important to have a balanced list of colleges that includes reach, match, and safety schools to maximize your chances of finding a good fit.
