Do schools know which schools you've applied to?

[Unitedspirit]

Just curious. I know some schools will ask this during the supplement, but is there any way for them to know pre-supplement or if the supplement does not ask this info?

I'm saying no.

The schools can find out where you have been accepted, but not to where you have applied to. However, there is always the chance that they know someone who could look up the information if they really wanted to.

do they really have that much time on their hands? I vote no.

Does it even matter? Schools know that the vast majority of students apply to multiple schools, usually 8+ (14 for me). Not sure how it could possibly alter your chances at any school.

I only see them doing something like that if they really want to you. If you are a regular applicant, then no.
