Agreed, entomom. My son withdrew his Harvard app as soon as he got in SCEA to Yale. The top schools tend to take a few kids from our high school, and if he had taken up two “slots” knowing all along he never would have gone to Harvard even if he got in, he would have felt bad if another top kid in the grade didn’t get in. As it turns out his good friend did not get into Harvard, but at least my son knew it was not because he took up the spot. Bragging rights are not worth the guilt or bad karma, or whatever you call it. (of course if he wasn’t 100% sure he wanted Yale, that would be a different call).
