Tell us about your overall academic performance so far. Where have you excelled, and where could you improve?

"I am very proud of my achievements during my undergrad education. Those courses added so much value that I will bring to my graduate program. My best courses included X, Y, and Z. I feel that I excelled in these because they are related to the area of medicine I plan to end up in as a physician assistant. Regarding areas of improvement, I think I can better myself in terms of time management. I overextended myself last semester with volunteer opportunities, and my study time suffered slightly. Now that I have identified the reason behind my time management challenges, I will only see improvement moving forward."

Spend more time talking about the area you have excelled in your studies and less time talking about where you could improve. You want the interviewers to remember you for your strengths, not your weaknesses. When describing the area you could improve, explain what steps you have taken to turn that weakness into a strength.
