<li>Why does BU ask for other schools I’m applying to? Is it for statistical purposes only?</li>
<li>Is it optional to answer?</li>
<li>If I don’t answer, will it be looked down upon?</li>
<li>I am applying ED to a school. If I do answer, will that put me at a disadvantage?</li>
</ol>
<p>I didn’t list any of the schools I was also applying to and I still got in, so no you don’t have to list them.</p>
<p>It’s for statistical purposes only. It won’t effect your application either way. But if you’re nervous/superstitious about it, just don’t answer it. That’s why it’s optional.</p>
