Red Flag in Secondary Essay?

Hey all, back again for another anonymous question.

Working on a prompt for a 'what was the toughest feedback you've received' essay. My essay is about a time that I failed at something and was told I was too immature. Overcame, worked hard, showed my maturity, and succeeded in this area the following year.

Question here is: Is saying I was immature at any point a red flag to adcoms?

I feel that I showed maturity in my response, so is this okay? Don't know if this is a do not touch subject.

Thanks all.

You tagged them but you got me. Tough break, dude.

I wouldn't have a problem with that answer. We've all screwed up and we've all been immature (and some of us still are). Taking the lesson is the mature response.

I've learned that applying to medical school is full of disappointment... 😉 Thanks for the advice!

Nope. And showing growth and maturity since then is always a plus.
