I suppose in the context of abraham_s's post "best" is in the eye of the selector: who is likely to be a benefit to the institution, including to their fellow students? "Should" high-achieving students and teachers be grouped together? I don't know about that, but I would guess that the reason they often do is rooted in mutual preference.

"Best" is as defined by the selector i.e the schools. Whether the method chosen to rank the applicants truly measures what the selector wants to be measured is the real question. In other words whether the school end up with the best test takers who may or may not be the students they were really looking for.
