<p>RISD and MICA applicaitons both ask what other schools you are applying to. Why? How is that info important and how would it impact their decision? I mean, if I say I am applying to RISD, MICA, Bard, and Yale, will MICA look at it and say, oh no, RISD, reject her. Just kidding, but what difference does it make to them?</p>
<p>I don't think that info is even required.</p>
<p>I don think it has a great effect their decision either. If you were applying to a really low rank school, and they saw that you were applying to all Ivys then they might reject you for being overqualified (but MICA is far from being low ranked). For the most part they use that info to calculate student demographics/stat info.</p>
