I had this very same question a while ago because I’m applying to all the Ivys and was thinking that this would look bad if they shared information. After thinking, i think it is highly doubtful that this is possible. In the first place, it would take a lot of time and would make the admissions process that much more difficult if each Ivy gave out the names of its applicants to each other Ivy and then decided on the applicants as a group. Second, if this was discovered, it would generate a major scandal that would threaten the Ivy League’s prestige. Third, the Ivy’s know that they are sharing applicants. They are the top schools. They’re competing with each other. They’re not going to collaborate to make decisions when each is trying to create the best applicant pool possible. I say dont worry, but it would be interested to hear other people’s thoughts.
