<p>I HATE this question! What's the best way to approach it? To be honest, I'm applying to A LOT of colleges...is it okay if I don't mention them all? Can our answer to this question have an impact on our chances somehow? Any advice...?</p>
<p>Some colleges ask this as a supplement question on the Common App!</p>
<p>Where is this question asked?</p>
<p>^I’m guessing by teachers, relatives, friends, etc. </p>
<p>I just tell them the “a couple” and list 4-5 random colleges that I’m applying to.</p>
<p>^No, no! It’s a supplement question on the Common App!</p>
<p>by which college…</p>
<p>^ Hofstra University for example.</p>
<p>Yeah what college would ask that? You should have to disclose information about other schools…</p>
<p>best be honest… sometimes colleges share names and info of ED applicants. though i doubt they would do it for RD (too many applicants to track) you should be honest just in case you get busted</p>
<p>I would double check that question to be sure that is what it is asking…
I have never heard of a school asking about other schools - that doesn’t seem right.</p>
<p>They do ask that sometimes. Just be generic, i.e. “small liberal arts schools”, etc.</p>
<p>^ But will being generic be a risky move?</p>
<p>Can you post the question here? I’m curious to see it…</p>
<p>^ It’s very simple:
“To what other colleges/universities are you applying:”</p>
<p>I doubt that anything you post there could hurt your chances.</p>
