in general, does MIT tend to accept multiple people from the same school, all who would be considered strong candidates?

Going to the same school has no effect on admission – MIT applications aren’t read regionally or by school. If multiple people from the same school have compelling applications, they will all be accepted.

Two of us from my (large suburban) high school were accepted my year, and we were the first two people ever to be admitted to MIT from my school. It didn’t matter that we were in the same year, because we weren’t compared with each other.
