  • Be honest.
  • Do not give vague or general answers: They are looking for specific examples in your life.
  • Review your application and essay; assume that the interviewer is not familiar with them.

  • What kind of leader are you?
  • Tell about:  When you took the lead on a difficult project, when you motivated others, when you have worked under pressure, when a group project you were working on failed
  • What is the most rewarding thing in your life thus far? The most challenging thing in your life so far?
