While the medical school admissions team at Albany Medical Colleges goes through all necessary steps to ensure their future students have the highest academic accolades and personal attributes that are best for their program, they know that every student entering their medical school comes with at least one area of weakness. Your interviewers pose this question to determine if you are aware of your weaknesses.

"I quickly found out during my undergraduate program that I tried to take on too many things at one time when it came to extracurricular activities on campus and in the community. That stemmed from my inability to say no to things. During my freshman and sophomore years, I was too busy with volunteer activities and participation in various campus groups and didn't have time for myself. I continue to improve in this area, but I know I will be a bit overwhelmed with all of the great activities here at Albany Medical College if I'm fortunate enough to be accepted."

Pick a weakness that is not a core skill for your success as a medical student. You can be candid in your answer, recognizing that you aren't great at something and acknowledging your need to improve. Be sure to have an action plan to improve this weakness.
