"During my undergraduate program, I handled the stress best when I was organized and communication was strong in team efforts. I'm confident that I would come to the PA program here at Western University of Health Sciences with the ability to be organized and on track with all of the curriculum requirements."

PA students experience stress daily during their training, but how you relay this to the interviewer will say a lot about you. Steer clear from the time you lost your cool and raised your voice; we all have days like that, but now is not the time to bring it up. Tell the interviewer how you have successfully managed your stress in the classroom and kept a healthy balance between your personal and school life.
