"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."

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!
