1. UAB AMNP Qualifications?

   Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that I had a fairly low cumulative GPA (around a 3.2) but had a much higher pre-req GPA and my last 60 hours GPA was high as well. I scored high on the GRE, worked as a CNA, and volunteered in community mental health.

    Does anybody have any insight as to what questions are typically asked in these interviews? I'm looking at past threads and can't seem to find any. I'm just trying to prepare myself with any and all curveballs they may throw!
