<p>Is it bad if in my MIT interview, the interviewer asked where I'm applying...and then where I applied early...and I didn't want to lie so I just told him where I did, which was Harvard. Will this affect my chances at MIT?</p>
<p>i really don't think so...</p>
<p>Probably won't hurt you much, if at all, but I sure as hell hope you answered it smartly.</p>
<p>is it an ok or "smart" answer if i just said that my top schools were the top math ones (he knew math was my focus): Princeton, MIT, Harvard...and I didn't really have a preference and it just happened that I did early at harvard</p>
