It is required that all OJS senior students have at least 6 colleges that they are interested in that they can categorize as match, reach, and safety schools.

● Match schools: where your academic credentials fall well within (or even exceed) the school's range for the average freshman. There are no guarantees, but it's not unreasonable to be accepted to several of your match schools.
● Reach schools: where your academic credentials fall below the school's range for the average freshman. Reach schools are long–shots, but they should still be possible. If you have a 2.0 GPA, Harvard is not a reach school–it's a dream.
● Safety schools: where your academic credentials fall above the school's range for the average
