If you got into most of your reach schools, you severely misjudged your credentials :-) At least in my book reach schools should be those where you have less than 50% chance of getting in.
I agree that the the single application and relatively low cost applying makes people apply to a bunch. If it was just safety/match/reach, people would apply to <=4. That is certainly true in our case. D applied OOS to SB (safety), SD (match), LA (reach). She got admitted to SD yesterday, so the SB decisions tomorrow are a "don't care". However, when we were submitting the application, we checked Berk just for the heck of it. There is no way she will choose Berk over LA if admitted to both, but $60 is not much money for us so we just encouraged her to "check the box"
