How to deal with failure as a premed, med student or pharmacy student

It’s Jamie and Shanna again. Since some got heart breaking rejection letters from med school, today is the perfect day to talk about how we learned to view failure and critical feedback as learning opportunities, set aside to feel down about the failure and then let go, and how to be kinder to ourselves and our team when failures occurs. We also share a couple light stories of times we felt like failures but these failures turned out to be nothing in the big scheme of things. (Mine was definitely petty in retrospect but my 17 year old self thought it was the end of the world LOL). Rejection definitely stings no matter what, especially if you tried really hard, but I have all my fingers crossed for what you want to be right around the corner <3
