In the UK, students can apply to Cambridge, or Oxford, but not both. What do you think of a policy whereby students in the US can only apply to two of the Ivy League universities or something like that?

Unenforceable. The schools themselves would never limit themselves and you'd have applicants sue against that. Fantasy proposition.

Well. It will never happen, but applicants can't sue against that if Harvard and Yale enter an agreement together to this effect.

It's also very enforceable in that the Common App can just prevent one from joining both.

It will never happen, of course, because the schools want to be selective.

Just putting it out there - if one can only apply to two Ivies, each college would have a higher yield rate, not have as many applications to get through, and would have more committed applicants.
