A list that adds up,
not a wish list
Your estimates from the other tools, turned into real universities sorted into reach, target and safety — with the money question answered next to each one, never hidden behind it.
Step 1 · Your numbers
Where you stand
Estimates are enough — this tool is for shaping a balanced list, not predicting decisions. If you have used the grade converter or the NMT estimator, your numbers are already here.
Preferences — these filter the list and nudge the sort order. They never change whether a school is a reach, a target or a safety.
Reach
Your profile sits below the typical admitted range, or the school admits under 20% of everyone who applies — where the odds are long even for strong applicants.Target
Your numbers land inside the middle half of admitted students — realistic either way, and where most of your applications usually belong.Safety
Your numbers sit above the typical admitted student and the school is not highly selective — likely, though never guaranteed.Insufficient data — check directly
These schools don't publish the admitted-student ranges this comparison needs, so we won't guess a category for them. Their aid policy is still shown.
Every number here is an estimate. Your GPA and test scores come from tools that convert and approximate — they are not confirmed scores, and school ranges shift every admissions cycle. Read this as directional guidance for building a balanced list, never as a prediction about any single school. Admissions decisions weigh essays, recommendations, context and luck that no calculator can see.
