      "I believe I will face a lot of challenges in completing this course, for starters this will be the biggest study load I’ve ever taken on so I expect there to be an adjustment period while I learn to manage the work. However, I believe the biggest challenge will be when the time comes to do clinical placements and learn to balance it with other life commitments."

      Marcie's Feedback

      This does sound like a big challenge! Can you talk more about why you think this will be hard and what you plan to do to overcome this difficulty? At the end of your response, assure the interviewer that you're confident you'll find a way to balance your clinical placements with your other commitments. Great job!
