Do UCs see the other schools you applied to?

<p>You know how on the common app you just check the boxes for each UC campus you'd like to apply to? Well does each of them see which others you applied to?
Also, I've been told to include specific reasons I would like to apply at each school. For example, wanting to study under a certain professor at Berkeley. Is this good advice? If so, how do you do that without making it obvious that certain schools aren't your first choice. (I have two first choices: Cal and LA)</p>

<p>I don't think you can do it without making it obvious which school is your first choice...</p>

<p>The amount of UCs you apply to will never influence your admittance. At least it shouldn't.</p>
