Benefits of a Peer Reference

I don’t know about the peer reference, but I think the fear people have about multiple people from their school being accepted is overblown.

It seems to me it wouldn’t be rational for Harvard to say “look, we have two fantastic applicants who are both worthy of admission. Too bad they’re from the same school.” My guess is that if you guys both get denied or both get waitlisted or only one of you gets accepted or waitlisted, it will be more based on your stats and ECs than the fact that you go to the same school.
