"Medical conditions are different. These are confidential and privileged. That’s more akin to your transcript or your test scores.</p>

<p>However, just as patient names are not confidential (except in certain circumstances provided by law), neither is your name as an applicant or as an admitted student. These can be exchanged."</p>

<p>well it’s like having a “high risk for heart problems” list. sure, it’s just your name that’s on there.

<p>Actually, it’s more akin to hospitals exchanging chart information for a patient who has been treated at one hospital and then admitted at another. It’s done all the time and is legal. It’s not information released to the public.</p>
