Can FAFSA hurt my standing?

Quick question. I accepted an offer at an elite school that I would love to matriculate at, and it looks like that's where I'll be going in the fall. I applied early action, but I also applied to round 2 for a number of other schools. I had to accept my offer at the first school because the acceptance deadline was before I'll hear back from the others.
Now, I'm filling out my FAFSA. The FAFSA asks me to list a number of schools. Will the school that I have been accepted to see my FAFSA? After all, they (the school) has a FAFSA submission due date posted on its website. I'm concerned they might see my FAFSA, see the other schools, and then realize that I might back out if Stanford somehow accepted me.
Is this something I need to worry about?
