<p>I don’t think that just having other people apply to the same school ed will hurt your chances but you could get an indication based on how you compare to the other candidates. I think it is a positive thing that many students go on to the top tier schools, that means your school has a strong program and the colleges must know that.
My advice to you is what I keep trying to tell myself, don’t worry at this point, you have done everything you can do and it is out of our control now. Try to enjoy your Senior year, I know the waiting is hard but we don’t have a choice. It’s out of our hands now.
Best of luck to you.</p>
