The interviewers want to know that if you were accepted into Mercy College, you would have the support required for your heavy and challenging workload. Talk a bit about your family, such as anyone who lives near you or how your family expresses their excitement for your career. You can also mention anyone in your family who may have had a similar path in the medical industry.

"My family is incredibly proud of me for attending medical school. My father is especially keen as he also graduated from Mercy College. My parents and older brother live in the area, so I will have a strong and encouraging support system should I be accepted into Mercy College."

If you have a strong family support system, briefly describe how they support you. If you do not have the support of your family, explain why your family does not support your decision to pursue a career as a PA. Then, end on a positive note describing how you have the support of friends.
