The interviewers ask this question to determine if you have the characteristics they are looking for in a PA student. They want to see that you are dedicated, organized, communicate well, and have interpersonal and critical thinking skills. Think of your three greatest strengths and how those strengths will contribute to your success at South University.

Once you describe your three greatest strengths, explain how those strengths will help you succeed in the PA program. Even better, if you have a letter of recommendation from a previous boss or professor highlighting your strengths, be sure to have a copy of the letter for the interviewer's file.

"My three greatest strengths to help me succeed in this program are my communication, organizational, and leadership skills. I am not afraid to ask questions if I do not understand something, and I communicate well with my classmates, professors, and patients. I am sure to actively listen and repeat what I am told to show the speaker that I understand what is being said. I am extremely organized and complete all assignments before their deadlines, and I love taking on group projects to highlight my leadership skills. I believe all of these strengths combined will help me succeed at South University."
