Ok this year I have worked *DAMN* hard to get into midwifery.. I'm an A student.. done bloody well for myself really..

I just got this letter..

Good day to you.
We have received your application for the Midwifery Programme. The next step in the selection process is for you to attend a selection interview at Manukau Campus. Please read the attached PDF and follow the instructions carefully. If you have any difficulty with this process, feel free to contact me.
Warm regards,

MY HEART IS SKIPPING BEATS! I've worked so damn hard if I don't get in I will cry my little eyes out.. I'm already on the BHSc, but I am applying to get into the midwifery program, this is my whole dream, my life, my future!! I can't even breathe at the prospect of ruining it all with a stupid interview!

That is so awesome for you!!!!!!!!

I had to conquer my fears tonight for a live webinar I was doing as part of a student panel for prospective students. Just practice your answers to commonly asked interview questions so you will not be so nervous before the interview. I think you will do fine. That 4.0 speaks volumes. I am also a 4.0 student and it is darned hard work!:)

How exciting!! this isn't the interview that you will ruin -- this is your chance to let your passion and dedication show how great you are for this program! You've worked hard, be confident, and trying to find someone to help you role play the interview is a great idea. I hear video taping yourself will help you see how you are presenting yourself. You know, do you seem timid and nervous, or competent and knowledgeable. (Ok, I've been too chicken to try it myself, but I can see that it might help.)

GOOD LUCK!!!
