Every veterinary medicine student will encounter academic challenges, so it's important to know that you are not alone when you experience difficulties. The Admissions Committee at The University of Missouri wants to know that you will handle academic challenges with emotional intelligence and poise.
Perhaps you reach out to other students when you encounter difficulties in your academic studies. Maybe you have additional conversations with your professors, or perhaps you engage a tutor to help you better understand the material. Discuss your approach to overcoming academic challenges and highlight how this approach has helped you succeed in your educational journey. If possible, give a real-life example of a time when you encountered and overcame an academic challenge.

"When I have encountered academic difficulty in the past, I have recognized the issue early and approached my professor for additional information or study resources. With these resources, I will either increase the time spent reviewing the class material or engage another person to increase my understanding of the topic. For instance, during my biophysical chemistry class this year, I fell behind as we approached the subject of molecular interactions. To ensure my success, I hired a Department of Chemistry tutor. This approach was beneficial, and I gained a much clearer understanding of the subject, which helped my grade a great deal. Should I encounter difficulties while attending veterinarian school, I will not hesitate to seek outside assistance."
