Thanks

Forgot to mention. I am interviewing with HKU on the 22nd, so I would really appreciate it if you could share your thoughts about answering this question.

Thank you very much,
Gordon.

I think the safest answer to this question is name a few schools you are considering that are similar to the one you are applying to. In other words, I would name schools from the same or similar cluster that are in the same region as that school. For example, if one were applying to Columbia in the US, one might mention that you are considering school such as Wharton and NYU that are of similar stature and located in the same general region.
