Rejecting multiple applicants from same school

Colleges & Universities Harvard University

<p>does harvard (or any other college for that matter) usually deny a whole group of studnets from a school (group = like 5 or more ish?) or would they prefer to at least waitlist one as a courtesy to the school? my school is not a feeder, but we have a good # of applications this year. i’ve read admissions confidential (or something) by a ex-Duke adcom, and she wrote that they often give at least 1 person in a school a waitlist as a courtesy. does harvard do this, or is this somewhat unique to duke?</p>

<p>also, my school has never sent anyone to an ivy except cornell in recent history…would that come into consideration or would they say “…who cares?”</p>

<p>However, if a h.s. has never sent a student to Harvard, that can count as a tip factor. </p>

<p>I don’t know whether Harvard wait lists candidates as a courtesy to the school.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>I’m not sure, but all 4 of the EA applicants from my school were deferred…I thought all had a great chance too!</p>
