No college sees any other colleges on your FAFSA, nor do they know where they were ranked on the form. The only reasons the ranking makes a difference is for students whose state scholarships/grants office wants the state listed first (I don’t know which states have that requirement, though) … and some states will schedule state grants/scholarships for the #1 ranked school. If your state does this, their website will have instructions explaining how to change the school once you finalize your decision.
