It doesn’t affect admissions chances. I applied to five Ivies and several other peer schools and listed them all, and I’m still at Rice. I know countless others who did too. It’s only natural that students applying to Rice would be applying to schools of similar caliber, so they won’t be upset or anything when you list HYP, etc.

What exactly they use it for, I’m unsure. I would highly recommend you do a search on your question, though, as a couple other posters and I have provided a lot of information/discussion regarding this topic once or twice before.
