[讨论]这个时候大家说实话吗？

申请某些学校的时候，会要求填写你还申请那些学校，这个时候说实话吗？

比如申请fuqua，如果你说还申请harvard，他们会不会认为你拿fuqua保底？

Do you really think that they are not as smart as you?  Just look at when you took GMAT, they will know you are lying.  The only exception I can think about is that you take GMAT in next Feb and rush to Round 3.

俺实在看不懂你说啥，或者是你没看懂我说啥

我gmat早考完了，fuqua的申请上问我还同时申哪些学校，我填或者不填harvard难道fuqua还跟harvard去确认？

I think 2L means that "Just look at your GMAT score, they'll know."

Frankly, I don't know how to deal with such situation, and I won't face it, because I only apply to the schools I really want.

It's like a no-win gamble. If I have to pick, I won't lie.

这个不是必须填的选项，可以不用填的。你有权利选择不告诉他们。

"gmat早考完了" means that you are a well prepared and dedicated peoson, have spent a lot of time to do your own research,  so you have eough time to finish up to  8~10 applications.  Then they will look at your background,  they will have a rough idea where you will go.   If you tell them that you only apply "fuqua" not other top 5 schools, do you really think that they will believe you?  They saw so many applications and so many "dirty tricks" in their working experience.  Just think about the last incident in "fuqua", they will keep their eyes wide open when to look at applications from China because the last thing they want enroll someone who want to cheat.  So don't give them chance.  Most applicants will apply a few top schools to hope magic can happen.  It is normal.
