Compiling a college list is one of the most important steps when applying to college! Dividing your list into safety schools, matches, and reach schools is an important step, as only applying to reach schools is a risky move to take.
Though many people suggest that you should build your list as a pyramid structure, with the most safety schools, fewer match schools, and only a select few reach schools, we suggest flipping that around. Having more reach schools gives you more shots of admission to the best universities in the world, whereas local New Zealand universities, with virtually 100% acceptance rates can act as your safety schools. Each US University requires many different essays, and having a compact list will allow you to maximize your candidacy!
