Here's a link to Texas A & M COP, and it should be good to prepare you for basically any interview...

It's too late for this, but you should go to your public library and check out "interview for a career" books. I found that it helped me immensly to understand the logic behind what they were asking and why they were asking it. The books point out that most people that interview have little to no idea how to do it properly(give an interview). Once you understand the science behind the whole thing you'll do much better than if you spew an answer that's rehearsed. However, the books recommended to have a prepared response to the line "tell us about yourself." Be yourself and you'll do fine.

Be yourself. Be enthusiastic. Above all, use an old sales trick...at the end of the interview ASK for a positive recommendation from them. You really need to impress the interviewer with how important it is for you to get in and how much you feel you would benefit the profession.
Great question. Best of luck.
