Tell us about an area of weakness that you would like to improve on while attending New York University College of Dentistry.

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.
