Perhaps instead of putting the professor on the spot, she could ask for his advice? As in “this is a reach school for me but it really is my first choice of where I’d like to attend. Do you have any advice on how I can make my application stronger?” Then if he wants to offer help, super.

I like this approach, which can be done in person.
