Will it sound like I'm dissing other peer applicants?

For one of my essays, I have to answer “Why University A?” (A being one of the universities that I’m applying to, which won’t matter in this case, so I don’t want to mention it)

I want to include a brief snippet that says something along the lines of:

“Although many fellow peers from my school may also be applying to the University A, as well as other top schools, in my case, the University A was my only top choice.”

Can I mention something like this? As the title states, will it sound like I’m dissing other peer applicants? I really want to highlight why I should attend University A, but I primarily want to show how committed and dedicated I am for applying…

Does anyone have suggestions as to how to make it sound better? Maybe change up the wording to make it sound not as “rude” if it is already?

Thanks
