Pick a weakness that is not a core skill for your success as a dentistry 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 in place for improving on this weakness.

"I believe I could improve my written and verbal communication skills as I tend to be longer-winded than I would like to be at times. I enrolled in a week-long workshop this summer, intending to become a more eloquent communicator. I hope to gain skills in this workshop that I can continue to utilize during my university career."

Perhaps you are watching TED talks to gain skills in a particular area, reading the latest-and-greatest book on the subject, or taking a seminar at a nearby community center. We are all human with our weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours!

"My greatest weakness has been remembering people's names when I first meet them. I recently bought a book called 'How to Remember Names and Faces' by Luis Echeverria. He is a Memory Master Champion and guarantees success by reading his book and practicing memory training exercises. I have been reading the book for a week and already found I better remember people's names and faces. I am confident this weakness will become a strength when I finish the book and the exercises."
