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 Midwestern University will 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." Choose the number one reason you want to attend Midwestern University and focus on that.

"I have applied to four other medical schools and rank Midwestern University as number one of the schools I would like to attend. Those schools are A, B, C, and D. My interest in Midwestern University is strong because you are highly regarded in the medical industry. The reputation of Midwestern University is unmatched. I would be so proud to say that I graduated from this school."

The interviewers want to choose students who are fully vested in attending Midwestern University and strongly desire to be there. Saying Midwestern University is your number one choice will score you higher than applicants who do not rank Midwestern high in their choice of universities to attend.
