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 Texas Tech 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 Texas Tech University and focus on that.

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

If you want to be considered for admission to Texas Tech University, it is best to say that Texas Tech University is your number one choice. If they are not your number one choice and you do not feel comfortable saying they are, choose your words carefully while letting the interview panel know they rank high on your list.
