Tell us about an area of weakness that you would like to improve while attending Georgetown University.

"I believe I could improve my written communication skills as I tend to be more long-winded than I would like to be at times. When it comes to formal patient documentation, I know that notes should be concise and detailed, and I know I will have to master this skill. I enrolled in a week-long workshop to become a more succinct communicator. I hope to gain skills in this workshop that I can continue to utilize during my medical school training here at Georgetown University."

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!
