I have a question from my secondary app question and they have been asking me "in what areas should i want to improve on?"

what would be a valid answer the school is looking for?

also a comment on my DAT is also needed, should i say i am very satisfied with my scores? (TS:21, AA:20 PAT 21) or be modest and say i wish i could have done better? i do not know what they are trying to get by asking these kind of questions

Thanks!
 
Yeah, those questions were difficult to answer but you should just be honest and give it some thought. I just talked about being satisfied with AA, TS, and PAT scores, but talked about how I think I should of done better on the two sections.

I guess you just have to be careful how you word these types of answers. I am sure you are just like me and always think there is room for improvement so you want to be modest yet humble. As for areas you want to improve on; just be honest. There has to be certain things that you wish you were better at or had a better understanding of. I am applying to the same school and it did require a little bit of self-searching to come up with some of the answers.

Does not have to be academic areas. For questions like this or "what is one weakness" I don't believe in the whole "make a weakness a strength" deal. Just take some time, maybe make a cup of coffee or tea, and think about yourself and what you want to be better at.
