US Early round quota

For the early round (EA/ED), do top US universities have ‘quotas’?

For example, Harvard might have a limit of accepting 2 students (incl athletes) for EA
If there were four very high-calibre applicants (not athletes), would they accept all four, or waitlist two?
(All hypothetical, purely based on the assumption they have rough quotas)

Thanks in advance!

The Ivies are extremely private about this sort of info - so we actually don’t really know for sure what they would do in that situation.

Check out this article about Princeton trying to block admissions data, and you’ll get a sense of the tone of secrecy the top schools have about the choices they’re making:
