How to use this list
A target list works best when it spans levels. Pick a handful of programs where you would be one of the stronger recruits, a group where you fit the current roster, and a few reaches. Use the admit rate and SAT columns the same way: schools admitting above 87 percent with a test band at or below your score are academic safeties, and the single-digit schools are reaches no matter how good your film is.
