Knowing where you are applying will help them to better understand if Western University of Health Sciences 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.'

"I have applied to four other schools. Those schools are A, B, C, and D. My interest in Western University of Health Sciences is strong because you are highly regarded in the pharmaceutical industry. The reputation of Western University of Health Sciences is unmatched, which is why you are number one on my list. I would be so proud to say that I graduated from this college."

If you have applied to other pharmacy programs, let the interviewers know which ones. However, when ranking Western University of Health Sciences, you want to let the interviewers know the college ranked high on your list. If you say the university is your third or fourth choice, the interviewers may choose another candidate with a stronger interest in their program.
