Reaches, matches and safeties also take into account the percentage of applicants accepted. Even if you’re in the 95+% range, if the school only admits 8% of applicants it is a reach. If the school admits over 50% then I think your % are fairly accurate. Needless to say, a safety should also be someplace you can afford to attend.
