While Kansas State University gets their pick of the litter when it comes to great students to admit to their college of veterinary medicine, your interviewers are well aware that every person will come with their unique weaknesses. When asking this question, your interviewers need to know that you are aware of your weaknesses and have a plan to improve them during your time in training with their program.

"Upon entering veterinary school, I know I can improve my writing skills. I tend to be too long-winded in my written assignments and written communications; I know veterinarians pride themselves on being succinct and to the point. During my training at Kansas State University, this is something I would always be cognizant of and look to improve over the next four years."

As you answer this question, you'll want to pick a weakness that is not a core skill for your success as a veterinary 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 for improving this weakness during your time at the Kansas State University college of veterinary medicine.
