No. Your odds for each school don’t change, and there’s nothing about applying to more reaches that will improve your odds for each reach. And if you overextend yourself with application supplements, extra essays, etc. (of which many reaches expect several), chances are you won’t do as well on any of them as you would if you concentrated your efforts on a few.
