      Answer Example

      "Should I not be accepted into optometry school the first time, I plan to reapply the following year. I would take that year to upgrade any required courses and prepare an even stronger application. My life's goal is to become an optometrist and I certainly won't take one rejection as a final answer."

      "Optometry isn't just a dream that I would forget and move on, it's my goal, which I need to achieve. If not today, then tomorrow; rejection would surely be a disappointment but I would reapply and try to improve in lacking areas."

      "Optometry is a dream I will never forget. If I am not accepted into your optometry program, I will continue moving towards my goals by strengthening my application and applying in the next cycle."
