Written scenario · Motivation, Resilience
Try again?
You applied to health professional programs this year.
You were not offered admission anywhere. Your parents, who have supported you financially, suggest you take a stable job in the family business instead of applying again. Part of you is relieved at the idea; part of you is not ready to give up.

The two questions
- 1What would you do next?
- 2How do you decide whether to persist with a goal or change course?
What raters look for
- Motivation
- Shows genuine, sustained drive and a clear reason for choices, including when work is unglamorous.
