<p>My MIT interviewer asked the question, and I told him the rest of my list (Cornell, Boston University, UVA, UMD College Park-in state, Virginia Tech, and RPI). I told him that Boston and Maryland had been submitted early for scholarship consideration and that I had been nominated for the full-rides from UVA and Boston (for a science/engineering person, they seemed a little artsy). He seemed to be pleased and didn’t do anything like bashing any of the schools. I certainly don’t think that it hurt my interview at all–he was <em>very</em> approving.</p>
