How do you respond to people asking about where you applied?

<p>I applied to 12 schools. I HATE this question, because I always manage to forget one when constantly spitting the list out (I know, it's not too good, lol)</p>

<p>My friend jokes that I'll be receiving acceptance (or rejection) letters to places I didn't eve know I'd applied to :);</p>

<p>I usually try to answer in alphabetical order so it's easier to remember though...</p>

<p>I just tell them....NONE!!! haha b/c I got in ED.</p>

<p>Nah, just got in EA :)</p>

<p>Here's what you do:</p>

<p>Person 1: Hey, where did you apply?
Person 2: Yo Momma!</p>

<p>done and done.</p>

25

<p>^ Priceless!</p>

<p>And frankly, that reminds me of the Facebook group: "If applying to college was easy, it would be called your mom."</p>

26

<p>"It's confidential."</p>

<p>And you're done.</p>

<p>What's the point in not telling anyone where you applied? IMO, people who don't list a single school are *******s. If someone asks you such a simple question, it doesn't hurt you to say one nearly obvious college you are applying to. I hate the kids who don't tell anyone where they apply (know a girl who didn't even tell her boyfriend). I understand that it gets annoying after a while, but there it takes less effort to give one name than to go back and forth trying to not tell someone your precious list. There was also a girl at my school who bled Wharton, then in mid December you find out that she got into Columbia. What was the point of lying to people for 3 months?</p>

<p>This question is getting very annoying. Pretty soon I'm just going to say I got into Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford with full ride scholarships to all of them.</p>

29

<p>Yeah, I'm not sure what's so personal about college lists anyway.
I assume it's also rude to ask people if they got into somewhere...is it?
Or what school they ended up choosing?</p>

<p>I guess I'll just let the rumours sift through my Facebook.</p>

<p>It is probably rude to ask people where they got in if you don't know them that well. But if you are friends, I do not see why you can't ask. I don't find it very personal at all, it's just rather dumb because people aren't familiar with colleges that aren't HYPS.</p>

<p>I tell people the whole list cause I only applied to 7. I say Duke is my first chioce and I appled to 3 instate schools.</p>

<p>I put it on my my going away message</p>
