Character-focused questions like this require reflection and the ability to speak about yourself in a way that showcases your strengths but still comes across as humble. Think about why you want to be a Physician Assistant and what led you to this academic path. Be honest in your response while making a connection between your top qualities, existing experiences, and the core requirements of a PA.

"I will be an exceptional PA because I am empathetic, confident, and a strong problem solver under pressure. I have known for many years that I wanted to work in the healthcare field. When I first realized the joy I get from caring for others, I chose to pursue this interest by volunteering at a free clinic two days per week. My interest grew as I saw physicians, PAs, and nurses help others most compassionately. I care about humanity and ensuring people live healthy lives. While pursuing my Bachelor of Nursing, this desire to help others only grew. Now, recently completing an internship under a general practitioner, I have grown my skills in empathy and gained a fuller understanding of what it means to truly embrace a patient-centered approach. These combined skills, qualities, and experiences give me the confidence that I will be an exceptional PA, especially after receiving top-notch education from Midwestern's PA program."
