The interviewers want to know how your undergraduate program has prepared you for attending medical school at Texas Tech 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 Texas Tech University.

"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 courses included X, Y, and Z. I feel that I excelled in these because they are related to the medical specialty I plan to end up in. As far as areas of improvement, I can better myself in terms of time management. 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."

"The basic sciences are the core courses for any pre-med student, and I have shown in my GPA that I am well above average in my ability to excel in these courses. However, because I have spent so much time on those courses, you will see that my liberal arts courses have taken a back seat concerning my GPA. This result is because of the importance I have placed on my basic science courses."

Your response to this question will show the interviewers your strengths and weaknesses. Spend more time explaining where you excelled and less time on where you can improve. When describing the area you could improve, explain what measures you are taking to turn that weakness into a strength.
