Am I defining safeties, targets, and reaches correctly?

Safety - Above median GPA and LSAT by one point.
Target - LSAT and GPA at median (maybe one of these is a point below).
Reach - Both GPA and LSAT lower than median.

Safety- schools that people with your numbers almost always get into

Target- schools that people with your numbers get into most of the time, but also sometimes don't

Reach - Schools that people with your numbers occasionally get, but mostly don't.

AutoDeny- School you have almost no shot at.

If you are below both medians, you are usually autodeny. Each school behaves differently.
