Harvard doesn’t care what you get into, they’re Harvard.

It’s doesn’t matter. It’s Harvard, they’ll evaluate your application compared to the rest of the pool. There are plenty of people that get accepted to top programs that have lower acceptance rate than them, and they literally don’t care. Congrats, MIT is a fantastic program, but don’t think Harvard is going to magically start being impressed because their next door neighbor showed interest in you.

Probably not going to "significantly increase" your odds. The whole point of dual degree programs is that you need to meet both schools standards. That said, if your HKS app was built around the dual program, knowing that you had half might share things in your favor.
