<p>Do all colleges somehow know what other colleges you apply to? Can they find out even if they don't ask on the application? How? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Anyone know?</p>
<p>Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that they can find out from FAFSA, where you have to list all the schools you’ve applied to.</p>
<p>I always think they know…but no proof in that. I also think they know that you listed them as one of your colleges in the common app. When my son listed schools, the message from the schools became vastly different. I could be paranoid, but I swear they knew. And, if they knew, I wondered if they knew what other schools were on that list.</p>
