The admissions team is not comparing by score. Once your scores indicate you can do the work at a school, they are then looking at which bucket you fit into and how you compare to others in that bucket by other attributes:

Male/female
Day/boarding
Domestic/foreign
Instate/out-of-state
Full-pay/financial aid
Legacy/non-legacy (where that matters)
Hooked/unhooked
Talents/sports, and all the rest…
