What are some good weakness to have on my college application?

Question

I am applying to college, but i cannot think of any weaknesses i have. I want to put something down, but the weakness cannot be something that will make me look bad in the eyes of the admission department.

Answer 1

Truth is bette than fiction.

Your most apparent weakness is that you think so highly of yourself that you think you have no weaknesses. I suggest you get over this before you go to college.

Answer 2

You see, the weaknesses are just another way of showing what a great person you are. I hate it when interviewers ask this question. Proper responses are I just have to finish what I start, I can't resist learning new things. See, sort of? It's hard to come up with specifics, but they're not looking for 'I'm lazy." They're looking for "Sometimes I just don't know when to quit working for the day."

Answer 3

The best way to answer this question is to pose a positive attribute in a personal negative way. Such as "I have been told that my projectionist attention to detail causes me at times to ignore other issues that may surface such as my friends request to go out to a social function with them while I prefer to study for a test or complete a project that is due in a few weeks."

Something like that.

Answer 4

well, I guess you can say that your best weakness is not being humble enough to know what you can improve on!
sounds like you really need to sit down and look at your self thoroughly!

Answer 5

you could say...
"im too easy going. this means that sometimes people with keep piling work on me. luckily , I know my limits and when work is too much i let people know."
though , now i've wrote it .. sounds a bit like a job application...

Answer 6

What do you mean exactly by weakness?

Answer 7

Work too hard.
