QUESTION 14 OF 40

Tell us about a weakness that you would like to improve while attending University of the Pacific.

"I believe I could improve my written and verbal communication skills as I tend to be longer-winded than I would like to be at times. I enrolled in a week-long workshop this summer to become a more eloquent communicator. I hope to gain skills in this workshop that I can continue to utilize during my university career."

The interviewer asks this question to see that you are self-aware and have identified an area you would like to improve. After describing your weakness, the interviewers want to hear that you have a plan in place to turn your weakness into a strength while attending the University of the Pacific.

Pick a weakness that is not a core skill for your success as a pharmacy 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 taking a seminar at a nearby community center. We are all human, and we all have weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours!
