Interview Questions?

I received a letter from American International College and they said I could do a Phone Interview! I'm really nervous and haven't done an interview with a school before.

I would greatly appreciate any tips or sample questions to expect. I seriously have no idea what to even imagine and would love to nail the interview down.

Much Thanks in Advance!

General things like:
- Why do you want/were you inspired to become an OT?
- Strengths/weaknesses?
- Tell me about a time you had to deal with stress/difficult situation.
- Tell me about yourself.
- What experience have you had in OT? (working, volunteering, observing).

I'm sure different schools ask different questions, some more off the wall than others, but definitely know the answers to at least the questions above. I found it helpful to print out a interview guide and to practice 2-3 sentences for each question with a friend.

I just received a letter from American International College also. I've never been on an interview either. Do you remember any of the questions that the interviewer asked you?
