Tell us about an area of weakness that you would like to improve while attending Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine.

"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. As a dentist, I know that clear and concise written communication is important. I know verbal communication with patients needs to be educational, productive, and clear with little fluff. I'm currently researching development courses in communication for medical professionals."

As you answer, pick a weakness that is not a core skill for your success as a dentistry student. You can be candid in your answer, recognizing that you aren't great at something and acknowledging your need to improve. Be sure to have an action plan to improve this weakness.
