You’re already making in invalid assumption. For top schools there are no “desirable applicants” unless Stanford is one of your dream choices and you are a 5-star athletic recruit or your dad lives in the White House (worked for Chelsea). “Desirable” implies “good chance to get in” and that simply isn’t true at the most selective colleges.
