When people say this school is a reach, this one is a match and this other one is a safety, what percentages of college acceptance are they implying for each?

reach/long-shot school = _ to _%

match/target school = _ to _%

safety school = _ to _%

also, long-shots and reaches mean the same and the same goes with matches and targets right?
