reach school

GBK English to Finnish Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy

Definition from Education.com, Inc.:

A reach or dream school is a highly desirable school, where many applicants have similar qualifications, but not all students can be offered admission. It is highly possible the student may not be accepted for admission, as the competition for spots in the class is fierce.

Example sentences:

Reach schools are long-shots, but they should still be possible. (The Online Review)

A reach school is one where an applicant would usually face a remote chance of getting accepted. (The College Solution Blog)

A school that used to accept 50% of applicants may now accept only 30%. As a result, many schools that would have been a match a few years ago are suddenly reach schools. (About.com)
