Can schools see information on where else you applied?

[ohshxtsaty]

There are several programs I want to apply to, all of which go through CASPA. Can they tell if you applied elsewhere or if you applied in the past? Would they know if you applied to the respective medical school at their institution? (EVMS has both PA and MD, GWU the same, UMDNJ, etc)

There's a thread from last month that asks the same question so check that out!

From what I understand, the other schools you apply to will show up on the application that the schools can see. I have no idea if they can see if you also applied to an MD program though, sorry! My guess is that it wouldn't show up on CASPA since those are two totally different application organizations, but it is possible that you would get asked in an interview if you've applied to MD programs. I'm also not sure if they can see reapplication, but I feel like I've read something about it on this site before so you might be able to find that information if you search! Or of course if someone knows the answer and posts :)
