[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do kids have to reveal where else they are applying? If so, wouldn't it seem arrogant to say "nowhere else"?![/quote] Meaning on an application or to each other? Certain applications do ask where else you've applied but people do leave that blank and I don't think it counts against you; the school doesn't care if you have a plan B or not -- it's not like they're more/less likely to take you if they realize you've put all your eggs in one basket. As for revealing it to others in high school, I mean it does come across as standoffish if you say to your peers/friends of 12 yrs "sorry I'm not discussing where I'm applying" as if it's a state secret. That being said I know kids who've done it and it's not like they've lost their friends doing that. With friends you can always keep it vague "I'm applying to Stanford." Where else - "I haven't figured it out yet" or "I don't know -- I'm thinking of taking a gap year if S doesn't come through." [/quote]
