I would expect a great school to be appealing to potential students, and therefore attract a lot of them. I would also expect a great school to have high academic standards that not all applicants meet.

It's a good thing you told us all that otherwise we wouldn't know which schools were "good" & which ones were "bad".

I would say its the applicants who seem to know which ones are good.
