What went down at the Brown Interview

Around thirty minutes ago, I had my interview with an alumni from Brown University. During the process, however, I was asked where else I had applied to in terms of universities. Of course, out of anxiety and nervousness, I honestly told the interviewer my list of schools. I don’t know about everyone else but it seemed inappropriate for her to inquire about my choice of schools. Of course, at the end of the interview, I reiterated that Brown University was my dream school and definitely at the top of my list but I still feel confused as to why I was asked such personal question. Can somebody elaborate on this or tell me if this is perfectly fine? I have seen numerous posts regarding interviews and previously read that interviewers were not supposed to ask questions like that. Thank you in advance for your valuable inputs.

A worried CC’er.
