It is just a list of questions.. to do mock interviews if anyone is interested. Anyone who is a bit on the nervous side and wants to practice.. (such as myself) I interview with UNM April 28th.

At my school, I heard we get asked a lot of scenario questions such as "There's only one pill left and it fell on the ground, would you still give it out?" Or things like that.

The hardest question I encountered for mine was "How would you persuade someone to do things your way when that person is being stubborn and difficult?"
