"other schools you're applying to?"- honest but [vague] or [general] or [specific]

As I always post: There is absolutely no reason in the world for any school to know which other schools you are applying to. Why? It is totally irrelevant data mining and is, IMO, a rude question. You can follow ski’s advice, although I think the most appropriate response would be, “Which other candidates are you considering for admission?”

If you feel compelled to respond, simply say, “I’m still finalizing my list.”
