The interviewers want to know how your undergraduate program has prepared you for attending medical school at Wayne State University. Even though they'll have access to your transcripts and grades, they need to hear you give your honest assessment of where your strengths were and how you plan to address any weaknesses during medical school.

"I am very proud of my achievements during my bachelor's degree program. Those courses added so much value that I will bring to my medical school here at Wayne State University. My best courses included chemistry and biology. I excelled in these because they are related to the medical specialty I plan to pursue. However, I want to improve my time management skills. 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."

"The basic sciences are the core courses for any pre-med student, and I have shown in my GPA that I am well above average in my ability to excel in these courses. However, because I spent so much time on those courses, you will see that my liberal arts courses have taken a back seat."

Discuss what interested you the most and where your challenges were during your undergraduate program. On top of your coursework, now is a great time to think about other core skills you developed, like time management, research, public speaking, and self-motivation.
