<p>The kids at my school are so damn secretive that I don't even know. Why do people play those games where they won't share their school choices even after the app was submitted?</p>
<p>Andrw313, you should be a little more sensitive to other people’s feelings. The so-called “damn secretive” students are not necessarily “playing games.” I can understand how some students might be concerned about their rejection from a particular school becoming public knowledge. It’s hard enough to weather the pain of a rejection in private. Choosing a potential college is a very personal decision, and quite frankly, it’s nobody else’s business. If a student wants to share his list of schools where he is applying, that’s fine because that’s his decision. The student who doesn’t want to share has the same right to make his own decision too.</p>
<p>at the school to which eskimogirl is referring, which i also attend, the students are just as secretive. the deans release the above numbers, with no names attached, to curious students, if they ask.</p>
