I think your thinking is limited to but a small group of schools where there is a supply-demand situation. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of posts referencing various theories why a certain subset of colleges are desireable or why the necessity of a long list of applications or why only “certain” colleges will result in sucessful college outcomes. The vast, vast majority of college bound students apply to a minimal number of colleges and ultimately attend one of them.
