QUESTION 5 OF 40

Could you tell us about your overall academic performance so far? Where have you excelled, and where could you improve?

The interviewers want to know how your undergraduate program has prepared you for attending pharmaceutical studies at Temple University. Discuss what interested you the most and where you had the most significant challenges. While attending undergraduate studies, you likely learned some core skills that would be transferable to your time at Temple University.

Think about what you learned:

- Time Management
- Creative Thinking
- Proposal Writing
- Public Speaking
- Presentation Building
- Independent Learning
- Academic Research
- Self-Motivation

"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.
