This question evaluates your emotional maturity. Your grades impact your future success, and this may have a more significant impact in the medical field than in other professions. Everyone processes the stress and disappointment of setbacks differently. Disappointment is natural, yet allowing those emotions to dictate your behavior won't move you closer to success. But, taking knocks in stride, examining how you could improve your performance, and distilling what there is to learn from such experiences exhibits emotional maturity and a continual desire for personal and professional growth. Share with your admissions interviewers how you manage such feelings, what you learn from those experiences, and how you perceive these events as a learning opportunity.

"Experiencing a setback is always disappointing and can be very disheartening, especially when involving a project I have put a lot of time and effort into. I understand that setbacks happen to everyone - despite their level of expertise or years of experience. If I experience a major setback, I will take a few moments to debrief internally, get some fresh air if possible, or discuss what I could have done differently with a mentor. Then, I move on. Rather than dwell on my mistakes, I choose to learn from them."
