Thanks @ucbalumnus, yes I have read the common data set and UCI’s response is curious compared to the rest. I don’t know that I trust how that question on the common data sets is interpreted. The person filling out the form for the campus might not indicate they care about demonstrated interest because they don’t cross track tours or requests for information, but they might care about overall yield and number of campuses applied to might have an effect. I am not sure.

I don’t know why I thought that the UC’s wouldn’t know what campuses individuals applied to but I am very curious how this information is displayed. Is it at the top of the application in the face of the officer while they are making an individual decision? Anyone who has worked at one of the UC admissions offices care to respond?

For my daughter, if she thought this would effect her chance at getting in to her desired UC if she has too many UC’s listed, she might prefer to look at other match and safety schools outside of the UC’s.
