trahul, I would focus on 1 or 2 strengths and ONE weakness. Adcoms are weary of the "strengths disguised as weaknesses" like "works too hard" "over-enthusiastic" "perfectionist". Also, impatience and "doesn't get along" are bad weaknesses to bring up. It's a very fine line to tread, but if you have Montauk, Bodine, or any other essay books (the HBS one is useful), read what the other people talk about as their weaknesses and try to find one similar to that.
