Interviewers are NOT supposed to ask you what other schools you applied to. If your interviewer includes that info in the write-up, admissions will ignore that information. And admissions assumes that everyone who applies to Brown wants to go there. You can tell the interviewer a hundred times that it is your dream school and that won’t affect your admissions one way or another. In fact, you could probably tell your interviewer that Brown is your third choice after Harvard and Yale, and it still wouldn’t affect your chances of admission (I’m dead serious about that).

Some interviewers don’t read instructions or ignore them. They are idiots, even though they went to Brown.
