Be prepared to address any weaknesses in your packet (i.e., low grade(s), low SATs, lack of leadership positions, lack of sports, etc.). Best advice here is to address it directly and succinctly and what you’re doing to improve/rectify, etc. – don’t try to make it into a strength if it’s not.

<p>Be VERY careful with this. As with Zap’s fine line between truth and insult, there is an even finer line between explaining your weaknesses and making excuses. Many people find blaming others for one’s shortcomings a total turnoff.</p>
