Tell us about an area of weakness that you would like to improve on while attending the PA program at Midwestern University.

We all have weaknesses, and that is an expected reality. However, the Admissions Committee at the Midwestern University wants to know that your biggest weakness will not impact your ability to succeed as a student in their Physician Assistant program. The Admissions Committee would also like evidence that you are self-aware and can readily identify areas for personal improvement.

Talk about a weakness that is not a core skill required to succeed as a PA student. Be honest when you answer, recognizing that although you may not be great at something, you acknowledge the need to improve. Show the decision-makers that you have an action plan to improve this weakness.
