Question 1 of 30
Why should we accept you over other equally qualified candidates?
1.
The difference between other equally qualified candidates and I is not brains. It is determination. When something is important to me, I buckle down and do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. I think this is apparent in the fact I earned an associate degree while I was still in high school. I dedicate myself to what I love, and I love psychology. If I was lucky enough to be accepted into this program, I would do whatever was asked of me, required of me, and more in order to earn my degree. I want to be the best, and to be the best, you have to work for it.

Question 6 of 30
What is your greatest weakness? What are you doing to improve it?
1.
My greatest weakness is that I sometimes can focus too much on little details-- failing to view the overall picture. For example, I obsess over my grades, which is a good thing, until I begin to make myself sick over the stress I put on myself. Sometimes I just have to tell myself that the little details, although important, aren't as important as the overall picture. This is something I have been working on overtime, and am gradually improving at.

What is your availability in an emergency? If you are not available, what are my alternatives?

I begin to break the large situation down into smaller situations that could be considered a "checklist" to my mind. Then, I do what I do best, and begin crossing off the items on my mental checklist. Typically it is stressful situations that push me to do my very best.
