What is your typical response when you encounter an academic challenge?

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.
