Tell us about your overall academic performance during your undergraduate program. Where have you excelled and where you you feel you could have improved?

"I am very proud of my achievements during my undergrad education. Those courses added so much value that I will bring to my graduate program. My best courses included biochemistry and physics. I feel that I excelled in these because they are related to the medical specialty I plan to pursue. I can improve my time management. I overextended myself last semester with volunteer opportunities, and my study time suffered slightly. Now that I have identified the reason behind my time management challenges, I will only see improvement moving forward as a medical student."

"The basic sciences are the core courses for any pre-med student, and I have shown in my GPA that I am well above average in my ability to excel in these courses. However, because I have spent so much time on those courses, you will see that my liberal arts courses have taken a back seat. This result is because I prioritized my basic science courses."
