Tell us about a weakness you would like to improve on while attending Mercy College.

"I believe I could improve on my written and verbal communication skills as I tend to be blunter than I would like to be at times. I enrolled in a week-long workshop this summer 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!
