The information given by BA at the Flyer Exhibition was that all 72 places would be split equally between the schools (i.e. 24 each)
Whether it worked out in this fashion in practice, or not, I've no idea but it was certainly the intention.
To be honest, the competition is so great that I would suggest you're better off choosing the school you prefer and then trying to be the best you can, rather than worry about whether you will increase your chances by a minimal amount based on speculation and rumour!
