Veterinary school comes with plenty of difficulty for any prospective student who gets accepted into a program. From the grueling time commitment to the difficult curriculum, the admissions team you speak with knows that no candidate will come to their program as the perfect veterinary student. The program poses this question to ensure that you are cognizant of any potential weakness you would have in joining their program and, more importantly, that you have a plan for overcoming your initial weaknesses to lead to success as a student with their program. Prior to your veterinary school interview, take the time to think about where you may be deficient and reiterate your plan for strengthening that area.

"I'm confident in my academic prowess in the life sciences and all other coursework I will be completing during veterinary school and know that I'm ready to buckle down and make veterinary medicine training my life for the coming years. Where I feel I may have a potential weakness coming into any program is the fact that I've gotten feedback in the past on my meek-mannered personality, which some have perceived as a lack of interest or engagement. I'm very introverted and have really made an effort to be more comfortable in speaking up in difficult situations and not avoiding conflict. Working with some student colleagues and reading a couple of books have certainly helped me and I know that I'll continue to improve during veterinarian school."
