"I feel that my GPA could have been higher; however, I was working full time while attending classes. In the end, a 3.8 is a great GPA, and I was happiest with the 512 I scored on the MCAT. All in all, I learned a lot about discipline and commitment that I would bring with me to the Drexel University medical school."

If you were satisfied with your GPA at the end of your program, highlight some of your accomplishments and the hard work it took to get there. That will allow your interviewers to envision your success at the Drexel University medical school. It is okay if you are not 100% satisfied with your GPA. Take an honest and straightforward approach in discussing what you could have done differently and how this will motivate you to further success in medical school.
