Do Colleges Know Where Else You're Applying? Do They Care?

<p>New this year is the Universal College Application, </p>

<p><a href=“https://www.universalcollegeapp.com/[/url]”>https://www.universalcollegeapp.com/&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>accepted by Harvard and some other colleges, and actually programmed by the group of programmers who programmed the Common Application until last year. </p>

@Universal College Application FAQ

If I use the Universal College Application to apply to multiple colleges, will the other colleges know to which colleges I have applied? Will they know if I applied somewhere else Early Decision or Early Action?</p>

<pre><code>No. When you use the Universal College Application to apply to multiple colleges, each individual college knows only that you applied to their specific institution. They do not know if, or where, you also applied. Also, only the college to which you apply ED or EA will know that. No other college will know if, or where, you applied ED or EA.

</code></pre>

<p>So if you use the Universal College Application to apply to your favorite colleges, then, just as with the Common Application, each college will not know what other colleges you are applying to.</p>
