do colleges know other colleges you're applying to?

refer to title…do they see where else you’re applying? so if you’re appling to stanford and yale, harvard sees it and figures one of them will accept you and you’re a risk so they reject you…is that possible?

<p>Not unless you tell them (some apps have optional places for this kind of thing) I believe.</p>

<p>I'm not 100% positive though. I think they can figure it out if they really want.</p>

<p>I'm wondering if there is an ADVANTAGE or DISADVANTAGE to writing down the other colleges you are applying to.</p>

<p>Anyone have any idea?</p>

<p>If a school is not need blind (where you FA info wil travel with your application), when you file the FAFSA they will see the list of schools which you are applying to.</p>
