"What would you do if one of your clients (I was working as a counselor for young pregnant women giving up their babies for adoption) decided that they would rather have an abortion?

"I arrived about fifteen minutes early was given a parking permit and able to find close parking easily. I had been in the school before (I attended FSU for undergrad and had had several meetings inside before) so finding my way around was easy. We met in the library and then went directly to our interviews. I was an early decision applicant so there was only one other applicant there with me at this time.

My guide picked me up and took me to my next interview. This interview was with another instructor, this time an M.D. He seemed a little intimidating at first with a lot of questions about my time away from school and drilling me about various decisions I had made and when I had answered him sufficiently he lightened up and seemed to be genuinely enjoying our conversation. He also asked a lot of personal and ethical questions and made sure that I had thought my answers through to the end. And at that point he looked at me, grinned and said, " Report Response
