In most US high schools, top universities only takes one from the school each year. Let us say, it a top student applies to every top universities and gets admitted almost all. This basically ruins the chance of his/her classmates.
From Naviance of my school, Yale, Princeton, UChicago, each admitted one, but not enrolled, because the same student chose Harvard.
It is hard to blame the student as these colleges are a top reach for everybody.
