I have to say…I agree with all of what’s been said. Although The school is truly trying to find the correct community that fits them, many of them have yield in the back of their mind. Putting together the jigsaw puzzle of the right student body is difficult and if they have two similar students that can fill a hole, they’ll likely go with the one who only applied to like schools or indicated they were the applicant’s top school.
There’s so much that goes into this process, it’s hard not to overthink it all. IMO, just be honest and as forthcoming with your answers as you feel comfortable. AOs will usually pick up on overly rehearsed or coy responses. The answer to this one question will not make nor break your chances of acceptance.
