"The achievement I am most proud of so far was completing my undergraduate program with a 3.9 GPA. I was also president of our school's Diversity Club and volunteered at the local Smile drive. I consider this a great achievement because it took a great amount of focus, dedication, and determination. I'm ready to bring this approach to the Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine."

There is no right or wrong answer to this question. The interviewing team wants to hear that you are a goal-driven achiever that they are considering for acceptance into their program. Perhaps you have maintained an exceptional GPA or excelled in school while working a part-time job. Maybe you finished at the top of your class and received a special award for your achievements. Think of any accolades you may have received along the way and passionately talk about what you feel to be your greatest achievement so far.
