Is it dishonest to not tell College A about every other College B, C, D etc.?

Here’s another possible answer: “I am in the process of finalizing the list of colleges to which I will apply. It will include [X (or X to Y) number of] colleges, both within and outside [state name].” Or leave off the first sentence and start the second sentence “My list of colleges includes …” That answer is honest but doesn’t reveal much.

<p>This and other answers that say that you don’t know your college list yet are honest but also kind of weird. Unless you apply early, all your applications are submitted at the same time–Jan. 1. How are you going to say that you are still undecided on which colleges to apply to?</p>

<p>Looking like you are evasive may backfire as well.</p>
