Do odds increase when applying to more reaches?

I’ve identified a certain approach I now think of as 19-reaches-and-1-safety.

Obviously that is not strictly defined, but it is characterized by the lack of a robust target/match list, which apparently they are trying to make up for by applying to as many reaches as possible.

If it is a true safety, then the kid is still going to go to college. But I think they could likely feel better about the outcome if they had more choices.
