Hi,

I am filling out the Fuqua application and Fuqua asks applicants to disclose all other MBA programs we apply to.

A couple questions:

1. Is this disclosure required?
2. I am applying to four other schools. Does disclosing this information put me at a disadvantage to others who may only be applying to one or two schools.

I appreciate your thoughts.

Thank you.

Dear pumpkinbread,

You do not have to disclose whether or not you are applying anywhere else or which programs; it is your choice. This information is collected for the school's own purposes of benchmarking and competitive analysis. It is really not used in your evaluation as a candidate. So, it is really your choice on whether or not you wish to share the information.

Good luck,
Lisa
