Walk your interviewer through your decision process. Describe how the program you selected aligned with your interests, talents, or goals. Some candidates will have a current position that is not directly aligned with their area of undergraduate study. If that is the case for you, describe why the path you selected made sense at the time and how your learning experience helped shape you into the well-rounded professional you are today.
