If you'll be asked how many schools you have applied to in the interview, will you elaborate on why you chose to apply to these schools? Or just tell the school names and that's it?
I will just name the top 3 or so, and tell y. There is no pt of naming all the schools
At Buffalo they are going to want to know every single school that you applied to.....they want to how you came to those choices.
sucks...
Shrug, I applied to 20 schools. The absolute truth is because my grades are low, so I had no clue if I could get into any. What I might tell them is that I applied to 20 because, "As you know, my grades are below average for a dental school applicant, but I am very committed to becoming a dentist, and I hoped that at least one of the schools I chose would look past my low grades and see my overall package, which thankfully, you (school name) have."
If you have good grades, then you probably didn't apply to a "random" mix of 20 schools, and this question is probably more straight forward (although, try very hard not to hype the other schools).

My interviewer did that to me at Boston. He listed on a white piece of paper all the schools I applied to as soon as I sat there! hehehe And then he asked me to explain each one Also asked why did I apply to Buffalo, since "it was so far away> near Canada" and why did I not apply to NOVA, since I am FL residentAt Buffalo they are going to want to know every single school that you applied to.....they want to how you came to those choices.

Anywho, it went well, I think he was just curious, I am pretty sure they don't do that to everyone at Boston. But be prepared for those interviewers that might just be curious GL and I wish you the best!
"Oh crap, I didn't apply to Nova?! Arghaghr"
