"I feel that my GPA could have been higher than my cumulative and science score of 3.5. However, I was working full-time while attending classes. Overall, I learned a lot about discipline and commitment and am happy with my score."

"My current GPA of 4.0 is a fair reflection of my above-average ability in pre-med coursework. My basic science GPA is even higher than my overall GPA, which is suggestive of my abilities within this field. With my study habits and dedication in this field, I can assure you that I will maintain an above-average GPA while attending Midwestern University."

Since you are sitting in the interview, you must have the minimum cumulative and science GPAs of 3.00 out of 4.00 required by Midwestern University. The interviewers ask this question to see your current GPA and if you are happy with your score.

If you are happy with your score, describe how hard you worked to achieve your GPA. If there is a reason you are unhappy with your score, explain why your score is lower than you would like without sounding like you are making excuses.
