Some of you may not realize but the schools you apply to know things about your application.
1. They know what other schools you have applied to.
2. They know what schools accept you. They get a list from AMCAS that has their current applicants and where they have acceptances from.
A number of posters last year said they were going to lie and say they had interviews in the same city even though they hadn't applied to the school. Bad idea.
Also, last year a dean of admissions told me that during an interview an applicant mentioned she was accepted elsewhere but really wanted to go to their school, so they needed to accept her quickly before she moved to this other school's new city. The dean knew she was lying because of the AMCAS list. Needless to say she was rejected.
Don't ever lie in your application, 2ndary, interview or anytime.
