Even though the Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine will get their shot at what they consider the 'best of best' medical students, your interviewers know that every student will come to their program with at least one weakness. Your interviewers pose this question to hear that you are aware of any potential weaknesses you have and have a plan for addressing them as a medical student.

"Coming into medical school, I realize I need to improve my time management skills. Throughout my undergraduate program, I tended to overextend myself with too many activities and committees on top of my academic workload. My plan entering medical school would be to prioritize my academic work and then find time for extracurricular and volunteer activities."

Pick a weakness that is not a core skill for your success as a medical 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. We all have weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours as long as you can talk about how you plan to better yourself in this area.
