Mentioning Other Acceptances

Hi everyone,
I have an upcoming interview for what is honestly my DREAM school.
I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but given its my top school, I wanted to check. Given it is later in the cycle, I am fortunate to already have a few acceptances. Is this worth including as a part of my "Why us" answer, that even with my current acceptances, this school remains my top choice, or does it become braggy? I don't want to ruin anything, but attending this school would align a lot for me!

Just talk about that school at your interview

Frankly, when we don't have enough space to admit all the excellent candidates we interview, it is some consolation to know that they are going to go somewhere else if we don't admit them. Don't give your interviewer that consolation.

In one of my interviews I mentioned having other As, but it was because he basically asked me straight up if I had any. But I agree with the above that I wouldn't bring it up voluntarily.

If your dream school interviewed you, they know other schools are also considering your candidacy. Its best to reinforce that you WILL matriculate at their institution via a letter of intent rather than explicitly mention other programs.
