It is absolutely okay to have weaknesses. We all do! However, the admissions team at Emerson College wants to know that your biggest weakness will not impact your ability to succeed as a student in this program. The admissions team would also like evidence that you are self-aware and can readily identify areas for personal improvement.
Choose to discuss a weakness that is not a core skill required for your success as a student at Emerson College. Be honest when you answer, recognizing that although you may not be great at something, you acknowledge the need to improve. Show the admissions team that you have an action plan to improve this weakness.

"I struggle with self-doubts, and I sometimes fixate on my insecurities. I believe this issue stems from being told that I had dyslexia, but not until I was in Grade 4. In the years before this, I felt unintelligent compared to my peers and didn't know what was 'wrong' with me. Even in my first year of college years, I let my insecurities get the better of me. I was less social than I should have been, which resulted in missing some great opportunities. However, by my second year of college, I started attending therapy and reading books on self-esteem and confidence building. By developing myself in the area of personal growth, I have made strides in my self-esteem. Today, I realize that my story will help me make meaningful connections with my patients when I practice as a speech-language pathologist. This story will not continue to hold me back; rather, I plan to use it as a gift to help others feel more confident and know that they are not alone."
