"To what other schools do you expect to apply?" ahhhh

DD nor I cannot recall being asked or seeing this question. However I read somewhere that if applying for FA the schools can see other schools you are applying to.

Does anyone know if this is true?

Colleges used to be able to see the other schools that a student put on their FAFSA, but that stopped some years ago, maybe 4 or 5 or so. Now colleges have no visibility on the admissions or fin aid side to see what other colleges an applicant has applied to.
