Haven't seen anything today. Looks like they aren't doing things the same way as last year.

I am preparing my application for Round2. I not sure how to answer
Is it a trick question or can I confidently list all the other universities that I am applying. I am mostly considering the schools in Texas due to its connection to energy sector as my career is in energy sector. Haven't finalist the list of schools I want to apply.

No it's not a trick question. They genuinely want to know how you rank their school among others. Did you apply to M7 schools then Rice would be a safety. They want to gauge how you rank their school.
I guess bschools care about their yield (% of applicants who enrol after receiving admits). Plus no one only applies to 1 school.
Anyway answering this question isn't mandatory but answering it truthfully won't put you at a disadvantage. Good luck!

received an email to call them and I am accepted with $$$! I couldn't be more excited!
