English term

reach school 

GBK English to Serbian Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
Definition from Education.com, Inc.:
A reach or dream school is a highly desirable school, where many applicants have similar qualifications, but not all students can be offered admission. It is highly possible the student may not be accepted for admission, as the competition for spots in the class is fierce.
Example sentences:
Reach schools are long-shots, but they should still be possible. (The Online Review)
A reach school is one where an applicant would usually face a remote chance of getting accepted. (The College Solution Blog)
A school that used to accept 50% of applicants may now accept only 30%. As a result, many schools that would have been a match a few years ago are suddenly reach schools. (About.com)

Prestižne škole su škole sa višim standardima u odnosu na druge koje imaju veoma selektivne prolazne ispite.
Example sentences:
Vukmirović kaže da se ništa nije promenilo, njegov san ostaje isti, samo što je Berkli, ako je njegov san 20 stepenika, Berkli je možda šest odjednom, zato što je veoma prestižna škola, blizu Njujorka, centra džeza. (http://prijemni.infostud.com/vesti/Srpsk)
Da li su ambicije dece ili roditelja za upisom neke od prestižnih škola dovoljne i da se ta škola bez previše stresa uspešno završi? (www.stil-magazin.com/clanak/broj-129-15-)
