Question about having requests of a college

I was wondering how much a college is willing to budge on student requests if you were to go to them and say that I am choosing between X, Y, Z, and if you could do this for me, I would pick your college. Do they take these serious or is it useless to try?

It depends on many factors. 1) how much ability does the college have in granting your request? 2) how reasonable is your request? 3) how much do they REALLY want you?
