Nope. Don't go there, as it makes it look as if academics is your whole life

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if it is appropriate to write about being rejected from medical school as an answer to UCI's challenge secondary question. ...

"Please describe to the Admissions Committee a challenge or disappointment you have overcome and what you learned about yourself from that experience. (1500 characters, not including spaces):"

I could pick a different, non-academic response, but being rejected from medical school is the freshest...

Don't do it!

The prompt did not ask you what you did to improve your application as a reapplicant. That's the only time you talk about what you did to improve your application (until someone points out differently).

We want more gravitas. We want a better insight into what matters to you. Relationships, job expectations, etc. for starters.
