You are honest and self aware but rather than “better” I would suggest they may just serve a specific institutional goal or target or display a specific desired attribute or skill. You may recall I mentioned that possibility up thread and how hard it is at a very competitive school such as yours to fully appreciate the proverbial playing field.
Once again a quick reality check with your guidance counselor is advisable.
Enjoy the weekend and looking forward to hearing good news in a few months!!
