Chances of a college admitting two applicants from the same school?

<p>I’m just wondering how often a top-ranked university (Ivies and such) will admit two or more applicants from the same school. What are the factors involved? I would assume that if they were to admit two students, they’d be quite different from each other in terms of ECs, talents, etc., since it seems quite pointless to admit two students that are practically identical. </p>

<p>Does anyone have any experience or could shed some light on this? Have two or more students from your school ever been admitted to the same university? If so, what were the two like?</p>
