During your Tulane University interview, you may be asked about your weaknesses. This is an opportunity to demonstrate your self-awareness and willingness to improve. Remember that it's normal for everyone to have areas they can work on, and the interviewers aren't expecting perfection. Instead, they want to see that you can recognize your weaknesses and have a plan to address them. This trait is valuable for any medical student, as it shows a dedication to personal growth and a desire to become the best possible healthcare provider.

Pick a weakness that is not a core skill for your success as a medical student. 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.

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