The interviewers want to know which considerations you put in before sending your application to Midwestern University. They really do not want to hear that you blindly sent out a million applications, hoping that something would stick. Share with the interviewers the consideration you put into your application.
Some methods of consideration could have been:
- Talking to/interviewing alumni of Midwestern University.
- Attending an open house at Midwestern University.
- Extensive online research.
- Researching the most renowned graduates of the Midwestern University medical program.
- Meeting with a career counselor and asking for recommendations.
- Speaking with a current student at Midwestern University, specifically someone in the program you are interested in.

"I was sure to conduct a great deal of research before applying to Midwestern University. I started by interviewing some alumni that I know, and I also spoke with a couple of your current students in the medical program. Last year I attended the open house here as well. Your school left a very positive impression on me, which is why I chose to apply here."

The more research you conducted, the better. The interviewers like hearing that you were exhaustive in your research before applying to their university, showing your research skills and attention to detail.
