I think @Eeyore123 ‘s comment is spot on - if you are talking about colleges with single digit admit rates, there will be enough applicants with both the excellent scores/ECs and the excellent essays, that adcom won’t feel a need to choose one of these. The ones that will sway it via essays/recs despite slightly lower scores are those that offer the college something other than “average excellent”.
