QUESTION 12 OF 35

Tell us about an area of weakness that you would like to improve on while attending South University.

The interviewers ask this question to see that you are self-aware and humble enough to identify a weakness. Choose a fault that is not a core skill for your success as a student at South University. 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.

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

Perhaps you are watching TED talks to gain skills in a particular area, reading the latest-and-greatest book on the subject, or taking a seminar at a nearby community center. We are all human with our weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours!
