competing with the same people?

So, I'm mostly applying to schools in the Midwest and I have a theory that most of the other applicants that are getting interviews...are pretty much getting them across the boards. Meaning regional schools are pretty much interviewing the same students (more or less) . Since students pick one of the schools they get accepted to, wouldn't this likely increase other's chances of getting into a school...especially if they were put on a waiting list?
