Even though Auburn University will get the pick of the litter when it comes to the new students they admit into their program, your interviewers know there is no perfect student. With this question, your interviewing team wants to hear you discuss what you feel is your biggest weakness heading into vet school and what your plan will be to attack that weakness.

"I believe I could improve my written and verbal communication skills as I tend to be longer-winded than I would like to be at times. I enrolled in a week-long workshop this summer to become a more succinct written and verbal communicator. I know this will help me both during veterinary school here at Auburn University and throughout my career in practice."

If possible, discuss a weakness that is not a core skill for your success as a veterinary medicine student at Auburn University. 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.
