The team interviewing you needs to be assured that you are ready and willing to commit your time and effort to succeed in their program.

"Yes, I'm so excited to train with world-class faculty as you have here at your program. I love that your program gives exposure to great rotations that I'd be interested in, like the Olympic training center and sports nutrition. My wife would also love it here in southern California; we've talked about this at length before my interview."
