For colleges that admit by stats, the concept of a “reach” doesn’t make sense in most cases. An applicant would know a priori whether s/he is likely to be admitted.

Only for colleges that determine the stat threshold beforehand. Some colleges admit by stats, but set the threshold competitively each admission cycle. Many CSUs in California are examples.
