"I am very proud of my achievements during my undergrad education. Those courses added so much value that I will bring to my Physician Assistant studies. From a young age, my best courses have always been in the sciences, like biology and chemistry. I excelled in these even more in college because they relate to the area of medicine I plan to end up in as a Physician Assistant. I think I can 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."
