Hi, I'm applying for several graduate schools in physics. I was just wondering, what do you think the consequences of NOT waiving your right to view the recommendation letters later on would be? I know I can only see them once I get accepted, but I still want to know which of my traits need further improvement later on.

Hi, I'm completely new to this community, so please correct me if I'm doing something wrong. I am applying to several Ph.D. programs in physics, and on every application I am asked to provide details of where else I'm applying to. Why do they ask me this? As I presume everybody is, I am writing slightly different SOPs for different schools (since some don't have plasma physics but do have my secondary interest), and I was wondering if they were going to share each others' information or something like that (I know in undergrad applications admission officers sometimes share applications). Any comments on this?
