This challenging question is meant to reveal how you deal with situations around ethics. The Admissions Committee at the University of Missouri is looking for evidence that you have the strong mind and personal character required to be a trusted medical professional.

Being a trusted medical professional may sometimes mean making uncomfortable decisions. Show the Admissions Committee that you value honesty above all else and that you would react to cheating in a way that shows leadership and integrity.

If you have found yourself in a situation like this, you can draw on this example when you respond by telling a brief story. Of course, be careful not to name anyone outright. Instead, focus on the way you reacted and helped resolve the situation.
