My chances spiked when I logged in to CV this morning
Answered

Some of my reach schools (T20s) jumped into the hard target category and 1 of my schools jumped from 49% to 79%

Was there some sort of algorithmic reconfiguration?

Yes that happened to me before too, I am not sure I have never had it increase that drastically but I think it may be if the school updated the new data, but mine went from 50% to 60% which correlated to the new data so I am not sure about that
