On May 15, are schools able to see the results of your entire cycle - schools applied to, schools rejected from, etc - or do they only see the schools where you are currently holding an acceptance?

They can only see acceptances and waitlists starting back around March or April I believe. Come May 15th, if you're holding more than one acceptance, schools will ask you to make a choice. If you fail to do so, I believe there may be repercussions. I'm not sure what those are; but I've heard some people afraid of schools dropping them and taking someone off of their waitlist since said person was holding >1 acceptance.

That would make sense considering it's part of the agreement when you apply as well as the school having the courtesy to remind you, and you still ignore it and hold on to multiple acceptances. If you can't follow basic instructions...

Agreed, especially considering how it'd affect those on the edge of their seats waiting for word of their waitlist statuses.
