Function of the word "Which"

[huskeric]

I'm not very good at the specific terms for the function of each word in a sentence.

However, my principle is asking me about this particular sentence.

"It'll make a difference in which universities I can apply to."

Now, besides the glaring "to" at the end of the sentence. My principle wants to know the function of the word "which."

Can you help??? Thanks.

The problem here is that the original sentence is not natural English.

I think I'd say, "It'll make a difference (as) to which universities I'll apply to".

That's a common problem with English textbooks written, edited, and published in Korea by non-native English speakers....

I sympathise.

ps. It's your principal, not your principle.
