What is your greatest strength?
Compared to asking about your weaknesses, talking about your biggest strength is a great opportunity to sell yourself during the interview. Pick something that you are proud of and tie to PA school or how it will help you working in healthcare.
"I am very proud of the time management skills that I have developed. I have worked full-time and attended school full-time from freshman year undergrad until now. As a result, I have been able to maintain a very important balance between my academics, social life, and work responsibilities that has allowed me to get to this stage, and will definitely help me succeed in PA school."

Those are all great strengths to possess but note that the question asks for your greatest one. Pick one and explain how this strength will help you succeed in this role.

I have a lot of strengths, I am a very easy-going person, but I am also very straightforward. I am honest with people and I am always good about making them feel respected. People find me very personable and there are very few people that I don’t get along with. These strengths marry well with the requirements of a PA

Nice! But note that this question asks for your greatest strength. To improve your answer, pick one strength to highlight and explain why it will help you excel as a physician assistant. Consider supporting your assertion with an example as well. Good job!
