Awesome question @pranhav16! Right now a reach school in our system is anywhere from an 8-27% chance while a hard target school is anywhere from a 27-50% chance. Does that help answer your question?

Maybe the Calculator show probability even after considering the acceptance rate of that school if it is top tier. I am not sure about this.

I will just say- go and try, and also- be prepared. Do your best!
