To the extent that “packaging” matters, it can vary by college. For example, if the student’s stats are “overqualified” for the college which considers level of applicant’s interest, then the “packaging” needed for that college is to make it look like the college is a top choice for the student, rather than a low choice “backup”. But such “packaging” is much less relevant when applying to reach colleges.
