Final answer:

A college where you have less than a 50 percent chance of being accepted is referred to as a reach college.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have less than a 50 percent chance of being accepted to a college, that school is typically referred to as a D. reach college. A reach college means that the school's admission standards are above your current high school qualifications. Contrarily, a safety college is one to which you are almost certain to be admitted, and a highly selective college is one that has very high admissions standards and accepts a small percentage of applicants. A probable college might refer to a school where you have a good chance of acceptance, but it is not an official term used in the admissions process.
