Interviewers ask this question to see how serious you are about attending their program. Do your research before your interview to find out that specific program. Read the school's mission statement and reach out to current students to understand how the program operates. Take that information and relate it to your goals for OT school.

"I have applied to a few other schools in the region, but I am most excited to discuss this program with you because it meets all of my desired qualifications that I want in a program. When researching programs, it was very important to me that schools have a lower student to teacher ratio because I like building personal connections with my professors. I also wanted to attend a program at a research institution because I would like to engage in research during my degree program and afterward as well. "
