The interviewers would like to understand the types of schools you are interested in. Knowing where you are applying will help them to better understand if Mercy College will be able to meet your specific needs and educational desires or goals. You should be transparent when answering this question but avoid saying anything offensive, such as, 'this school is my last choice.' Pick out the number one reason why you want to attend Mercy College and focus on that.

"I have applied to four other schools that offer the PA program. Those schools are A, B, C, and D. My interest in Mercy College is strong because you are highly regarded in the medical industry. The reputation of Mercy College is unmatched, and you are ranked number one on my list. I would be so proud to say that I graduated from this school."

To be highly considered as a candidate, you should focus on letting the interviewer know that Mercy College is your number one choice. If you rank them lower, they may choose another student more excited about attending Mercy College.
