我不相信是那樣的。好学校的申請人數必定是數以千計，它們那有時間去查詢申請人還申請了那些学校，然後再核對 recommendation letters。雖然在申請表上它們的確有問你還申請了那些学校 (it's optional to answer)，但我認為它們想知道究竟你想做的 research or focus 是否 match their programs 或你所選的其他学校是否和它們的相近。換句話說，它們想知道你是否選對学校而不是在交流推荐信的内容。再者，MArch applicant 最重要嘅係 portfolio。My friend in US applied for 8 schools last year and got into most of them.  I don't think applying more would lessen your chances of admission.

Sorry, my writing pad is down and I have to type in English.  I went to several school open house last year, they stressed that portfolio is a major part for admission decision.  All admissions want to know who you are.  

Besides, I heard from professors before, recommendation letters they wrote for students are pretty much all the same.  They will change the letter a little and cut and paste school names if needed.  I guess they will only write a tailor-made letter if you are extraordinary outstanding or doing exceptionally well in class.
