It's so hard not to tell people where I applied. So I just tell them some programs while leaving out others. When someone asks me what my top choice is, I just say it doesn't matter and that I would be happy at any of the programs I applied to. It's not true. I do have preferences but it's better to keep it to myself. Those nosy people can satisfy having the answer but I don't have to tell them the whole story.
Hey guys, I'm new here. I agree with Victory. 9 apps were already overwhelming to me. Can't imagine reading, revising, ... essays and apps for more than 10 apps :shock:
