my question: as you are being interviewed, do interviewers/schools know where you've applied/been accepted?

thanks

No but they might ask you where else have you applied.

It depends. The schools that have 2ndary apps, those apps usually ask you to state the other schools you've applied to, so the interviewer has access to that information...and thats a pretty typical interview question too, so they're going to find out regardless.

At the end of the day...I don't think it makes a difference if they do or don't, just focus on not screwing up your interview.

Unless they ask, (and you tell them, whether via interview question or secondary app) they do not have access to where you've applied or been accepted until May 1st. After May 1st, they are granted access to that information from AADSAS in order to see if anyone that they have accepted has multiple deposits placed. This allows them to force people to make their decision or they'll just repeal their acceptance so they don't hold up spots for other people.

This info is via the admissions person from USC who told us this information at the interview....

I asked AADSAS. They said schools will not see to how many schools we have applied. However, during my interviews I was asked this question. It was more to see how serious I was about getting in this year.

This is exactly what I heard from UIC. 👍
