      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      In posing this question, your medical school interviewing team is simply looking to hear your honest thoughts on the GPA you earned in your undergraduate program. Since they will receive your final GPA through your official transcripts when you graduate, they'll reflect to ensure that you were honest in your answer.

      How to Answer

      If you were satisfied with your GPA during your undergrad studies, talk about your accomplishments and the hard work you displayed to achieve your GPA. If you were not satisfied with your GPA or felt you could have done slightly better, it is okay to discuss what you would go back to change if you were given that hypothetical opportunity. No matter how you respond to this question, keep your answer short and to the point.

      "My GPA reflects my perseverance and motivation to prepare for a path in medicine. Although pre-med courses can be tough, I was able to graduate with a 4.0 and honors. This experience taught me that if I truly put my efforts into something, I can succeed in it."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      Awesome job achieving a 4.0 - you must feel very proud of your efforts. I recommend including details on what you did to achieve this accomplishment. For instance, you could provide the interviewer with details on your study habits or talk about your method for remaining disciplined in the face of challenging coursework.
