<p>sorry if there's a thread on this already but...
on the common app. supplement.. is it better to not list other schools you're applying to? ( it is optional ) what do you guys think?
thanks ;)</p>
<p>If it's a safety school, I normally list some other relatively non-competitive schools. If it's a rather competitive school, I usually list another competitive school and some safeties. I don't list all of them though.</p>
<p>Just list a few of them. Don't list all schools. Just a few reaches and safeties.</p>
<p>Oh, i had the same question. But don't you think colleges may somehow find out how many schools you actually apply to?
however:), i was also thinking of mentioning the reaches and maybe one safety. - But don't you think it is not too good if the college that asks this will feel that it is more like safety?...</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you mention only reaches, it might feel like if they don't except you, you will be on the street. So if they will be hesitating, then do you think this will help to outweigh for accepting him/her</p>
