From their years of experience in bringing aboard classes of medical students, your interviewers at Drexel University know that the perfect student doesn't exist. All students come with at least one area of weakness to improve upon during medical school. In proposing this question, the interviewers want to hear that you are aware of your shortcoming and have thought about how you would like to improve in this area.

"Throughout my undergraduate program, I found out that I tended to become overloaded because I had trouble saying no. In coming to the Drexel University medical school, I know my focus will need to be razor sharp, and prioritizing what is important for me to focus on will be the key to my academic success."

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. We all have weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours!
