FAFSA permits an applicant to list up to ten colleges on the form, and the entire list is sent to each college; as a result, admissions officers can see not only which other colleges a student is applying to but the order that the colleges are listed. A higher FAFSA position has been interpreted by admissions officials and enrollment consultants as a sign of greater demonstrated interest. Accordingly, a college's FAFSA position may affect decisions regarding whether a student is admitted to the college, waitlisted, or how much financial aid is offered. One report suggested that the importance of the FAFSA position as a factor signifying greater demonstrated interest was exaggerated. Advisers suggested that applicants list colleges alphabetically to obscure any preferences. There have been calls for the Department of Education to stop releasing data about other colleges as a matter of privacy or to alphabetize the list automatically."@en }
