Will my chances of admission improve if I...

<p>apply to two colleges and thus write two essays.</p>

<p>I doubt very much, if at all.</p>

<p>Actually, at a CALS info session, I heard that they might read an essay from a prospective student applying to 2 colleges and pass over it because they think he’d be better suited for that college.</p>

<p>Do colleges even know how many and which other colleges a student is applying to, if he doesn’t tell them?</p>
