During the MMI interview process, you can expect standard interview questions and some questions/scenarios that come out of left field. A question about your biggest weakness should be approached with honesty. If you feel you didn't perform well with this question or any others, there is no need to fret; you will have many other opportunities to impress your MMI interview team.

Before your PA school interview, consider what you feel your one shortcoming would be if you were accepted into a program. Your interviewer at this MMI station will appreciate your honesty. From there, it is all about your plan to address your weakness and improve. Your weakness can be anything, from a personality trait to academics, from lack of work experience in healthcare to being a non-traditional student.

"The one thing that makes me a bit nervous is that I have been in the workforce as an EMT for eight years since graduating with my bachelor's degree. It will be an adjustment entering PA school with a family. While I haven't been in the classroom in what feels like a long time, I know my experience as an EMT will be very beneficial to me as a student in your program. When it comes to study habits, my spouse and kids have committed to helping out during my schooling, and this was the number one thing I needed. I plan to be a great teammate for my student colleagues in your program, and we can learn from and feed off of each other in the classroom. During clinical rotations, my EMT experience will be great in the hospital, ER, and critical care settings. I'll have a lot of learning to do in the clinic setting and look forward to those opportunities."
