When a student is with others who are significantly more capable at a college, s/he may be subject to more stress and higher expectation that can lead to all sorts of problems that s/he may not face at another college.

That is basically an argument against attending a college that is a reach for admission.

Of course, in most such cases, the college rejects the applicant.
