How many apps is too many?

What is the difference between a match and a safety?

And can you clarify what a reach is? Is it a school you probably won’t get in based on your stats, but you have some good intangible qualities, like service work, ECs, leadership, that they may admit you? Or is a reach a school you would really like to go to, may get in, but the only way you can go is if they give you a really good scholarship?

As for being able to afford the apps, many of these are free if you apply online, so there is no additional cost there.

Also, if a good portion all take the common application, aren’t you just doing one app and duplicating it for numerous colleges, or am I not understanding the process of the common app? Please educate me!
