Hi Stacy,
Excuse me if this question has already come up, but I did not see it. It seems that in every interview, the interviewer suspiciously leads off with the question "What other schools are you applying to?"
It would seem that this question is the school's way of checking where it stands in your school list, and I'm somewhat unsure how to answer it. For example, I applied to 6 schools (yes, I know, one of my worse decisions). If, at the interview for my "worst-ranked" school, I rattle off 5 other schools that are seemingly "better-ranked," I am scared of implying that I am not interested in going to that specific school. Obviously, I would love to go to any of the 6 to which I applied, and therefore am very wary of how I answer this question.
Am I overanalyzing this question? Should I only give a partial list of the schools to which I applied? Should I give the full list?
I appreciate any help - thanks so much!
