We all have weaknesses, and that is an expected reality. However, the admissions team at the University of Missouri wants to know that your biggest weakness will not impact your ability to succeed as a student in their veterinary medicine program. The admissions team would also like evidence that you are self-aware and can readily identify areas for personal improvement.
Talk about a weakness that is not a core skill required for your success as a MU College of Veterinary Medicine student. Be honest when you answer, recognizing that although you may not be great at something, you acknowledge the need to improve. Show the admissions interviewers that you have an action plan to improve this weakness.

"One area of weakness that I would like to improve in myself would be my verbal skills. I have excellent listening skills, but when it comes to communicating in terms of projecting with confidence, I am lacking. Ways I have been improving this in myself are through interviews and my interaction with clients in my jobs. I have also been seeking advice from family, friends, and my superiors at work. Through these exercises, I have improved in my confidence and ability to interact on an easier level with others, with less self-consciousness in the back of my mind."
