DONT DO THAT! it doesnt work. i tried to calculate my chances like that last year.
if u put together a phenominal application to a reach 10% school you might be admitted but if you write a crappy essay for the 60% match school you’ll most likely get waitlisted/rejected. which is what happened to me.

just get together a list of schools you really like (w/matches safe, reach) and go for it.
