how would you answer something like this on an interview?

Members don't see this ad.

I'm wondering how would you answer questions like
"If you were accepted to all the schools you applied to where would you go?"
or
"Is this school your top choice?"

When the school you are interviewing at really isn't the top choice and you wouldn't go there if you were accepted to somewhere else?

I would say that while I am strongly considering the school, I am not certain about my top choice, because I have not been able to tour every school I've applied to yet.

Chances are that you won't be asked that question though. You either say they are your top choice and seem non-genuine (which in that case you wouldn't be anyways), or tell the truth and seem uninterested.

Answer truthfully. I got asked this and I said no, for reason x, y and z but most schools offer the same education and as long as your willing to put the work in you will always come out a skilled and competent dentist no matter what school you go to. I got the offer so its not like they want you to merry the school adcoms only want to know if you can complete the program and if your a match for the school.

I would say that the school I was interviewing for is one I'm definitely considering. I don't count my chickens before they hatch. That's truthful enough because I wouldn't apply to a school I wouldn't attend.

I'd just say that you put lots of time and consideration into each school before applying, and you only applied to place that you would sincerely consider attending. I'd say that you are uncertain right now of your top choice, but that you are very fortunate to potentially have some great options. (Or something along those lines, LOL!)

Contrary to above, I like to count my chickens before they hatch. So I say yes to all who ask 🙂

I say yes before they finish that question. It's like an uncontrollable reflex.
