<p>This bothers me a little bit. Do they just want to see their “competition?”</p>
<p>Yes, it’s for statistical purposes.</p>
<p>So can my answers positively or negatively affect my chances in any way?</p>
<p>possibly. for example: if you put that you applied to northeastern university, they may want you more because they dont want to lose a good applicant to a competing school. again, this is just an example so don’t hold me to it!</p>
