We all fail from time to time, and there is no need to be ashamed of defeat. The magic is in the lessons we learn from these situations. Give an example of a project or task that did not turn out how you wanted it to, but you were able to recover. Perhaps you were better off in the end or learned a valuable lesson. Outline the roadblock, and share how you approached the situation. At the end of your response, discuss your level of dedication, even in the face of failure, and explain how you will make an impact on this dental school program if you were to be accepted.
