This has sort of been covered before but i was hoping for a slight clariification, on March 15th Can Schools See where you've been accepted (all schools you've been accepted to whether you held the seat or not?)
or only schools at which you currently hold a seat?

I know its a nit picky question but I was wondering.
At one school my interviewer asked me about what other schools I had been accepted to, I told them, but have since withdrawn my acceptance from a couple. So im wondering if come off like a liar

I might be a little off on the dates, but the gist is that as of Feb 15th the schools who have accepted you can see where else you have been accepted. As of April 1st every school can see where every applicant has been accepted. Thus there is a small window in April where a school would know ahead of time where else an interviewee has been accepted, but they are otherwise oblivious at interview time.

As for your concern about being caught in some sort of deception, don't worry about it. But tip o' the hat, this is a new type of SDN neuroticism that I haven't seen before. Good one!

I believe that it is March 15th that they can see, since that is the last day to offer acceptances.

And you not have nothing to worry about; no school will think you are a liar. They understand if you needed to withdraw or whatever.

I thought March 15th was the last day for MD/PhD acceptances only, and that schools were only required to have given out enough acceptances to match the expected size of their class by March 31st.

If you withdraw will they see that then? Doesn't really matter, but just wonderin

Would seeing your other acceptances or lack thereof affect an adcom's decision? For example, if you've been invited to apply for a merit scholarship to the only school you've been accepted to, would they be less inclined to give you the scholarship if they know you don't have a choice and have to matriculate there anyway?

Who knows - maybe, maybe not. If you're a strong applicant that's attractive to them then you'll probably receive it either way. If they think you won't attend their school, maybe not.

You are correct. This link has some of the guidelines regarding acceptance notifications. However, I didn't see mention of when other schools have the ability to see your acceptances.

VCU is offering acceptances the 16th, so I'm not sure that's right. Some schools interview into April as well, so I think your dates may be off.

At one of the schools where I interviewed the dean of admissions specifically told the interviewer group that he is more likely to give applicants more money if they have multiple acceptances and less money if his school is their only acceptance.

Ugh. I hope that varies by school.
