If you were accepted to Mayo Clinic, would you go?

Of course this is asked at an interview for an osteopathic medical school.
 
I, personally, would say no, because I like the ideology behind osteopathic medicine and the approaches that osteopathic physicians take towards treatment. Asked at a D.O. interview, if you said yes, I would get the implication that you, as an interviewee, were just trying to get into the school with the best name and/or reputation and that you really didn't have a strong inclination towards practicing osteopathic medicine. Just my $0.02 though...
 
Friend of a friend, etc.

Did this person actually apply to Mayo? If so, then they might have a lot tougher time answering that question than I would. My answer would simply be that I only applied to the schools that I wanted to attend, and Mayo wasn't one of them. I'd put a pretty wrapper on it for an interview, of course. Man, I hope I don't get any questions like that.
