Being able to identify, acknowledge, and admit to your weaknesses speaks high of your EQ (emotional intelligence). But the word 'weakness' has negative connotations, so reframe it as a growth opportunity. Considering a weakness as a growth opportunity exhibits forward-thinking, proactive potential, and confidence. Admitting to a weakness and recognizing it as a growth opportunity presents your strengths. Pick a weakness that is not a core skill nor necessary for your success as a dentistry student. Be sure to have an action plan to improve on this growth opportunity.

"I believe I could improve my written and verbal communication skills as I tend to be longer-winded than I would like to be at times. I enrolled in a week-long workshop this summer, intending to become a more eloquent communicator. I hope to gain skills in this workshop that I can continue to utilize during my university career."
