"I am very proud of my achievements during my undergrad education. Those courses will add so much value to my graduate program. My best grades were always in my chemistry courses. I excelled in these because they are related to pharmacology, which I am particularly interested in. A weakness I'd like to improve is my 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."
