The interview panel would like to hear that you are humble enough to admit you have a weakness and self-aware enough to realize a fault. Pick a weakness that is not a core skill for your success as a student at Mercy College. 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.
