"I am very proud of my achievements during my undergrad education. Those courses added so much value that I will bring to my graduate program. My best grades were always in my chemistry courses. I excelled in these because they are related to pharmacology, which I have a solid interest in. Regarding areas of improvement, I can better my time management skills. I overextended myself last semester with volunteer opportunities, and my study time suffered slightly. Now that I have identified the reason behind my time management challenges, I will only see improvement moving forward."

Focus on spending more time talking about your overall academic performance and areas you excelled rather than where you could improve. When you describe where you could improve, be sure to let the interviewers know what you are doing to strengthen your skills in that area.
