Other Colleges....why do they ask?

<p>On the CMC supplement, why does it ask you to specify what colleges you are applying to? Does CMC have "Tufts" syndrome or something...like if you're overqualified or you're aiming for more prestigioues colleges they don't want to risk accepting you, since you may not enroll...??? Is this section optional? Did any CMCers answer this untruthfully?</p>

<p>I have no idea why they ask.. But I was really worried about this q....</p>

<p>i was worried about the question too, (i have a crazy list from cal states to ivy leagues) but i answered honestly---</p>

<p>lol i have a pretty weird list too. but i added a few "easier LACs" just for fun, tee hee!</p>

<p>I wrote all of em, honestly. I think it might be a reason why I was rejected early... so watch out kids.</p>

<p>do u really think so? </p>

<p>:-/! cuz my list is so random (CMC is the only small liberal arts school)..but CMC is my first choice.</p>

<p>but it didn't seem optional</p>

<p>yeahh... but no use in worrying now I guess... all apps are in.</p>

<p>anybody else haev thoughts on this?</p>

<p>I don't think it factors. My S wrote all his last year Duke, Trinity University,Pomona, Wash U, State honors college. He got in. I think they are just keeping stats on where else most of their students also apply.</p>

<p>doesnt factor.....i wrote in good ones...i got in</p>

<p>congratulations :)!</p>

<p>what were ur stats/activities if you don't mind me asking</p>
