"Experiencing a setback is always disappointing and can be very disheartening, especially when involving work that I have put a lot of time and effort into. I understand that setbacks happen to most medical students, and I'm confident that I am well-equipped to handle the challenges I will face at Nova Southeastern University. When I experience a major setback in my academics, I first debrief internally and get some fresh air if possible. I discuss what I could have done differently with a classmate or mentor. Then, I move on. Rather than dwell on my mistakes, I choose to learn from them and improve moving forward."

Discuss with the interviewers how you typically cope with setbacks in your schoolwork. If you have an example of a time during your undergraduate program when you faced a struggle, you can confidently describe how you worked through that with determination to provide a great result. No matter how you answer, be sure to reiterate that you are ready for the challenges that will come your way at Nova Southeastern University.
