Can other schools see where else have you have applied?

Hi all,

Someone once told me that schools do not have access to see which schools have you applied to. Is this true? I understand that the school can know if one asks during an interview or if it is part of their secondary application.

They cannot.

I think they ask on secondaries some of the time. I'd check each school's app individually to see. UNC might? I remember seeing that question on at least one app I looked at.
 
Both Midwesterns ask in the secondaries to list all of the schools you're applying to. NYU asks at the interview to list 4 other schools you've applied to. I think Midwesterns and NYU want to know if you've heard back from them as well.
 
Do we have to disclose this information? Can it hurt us in any way?

Correct, UNC does.
