Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is overgeneralization (B).
Overgeneralization is a type of cognitive distortion where a conclusion or belief is formed based on limited or insufficient evidence. In this case, your friend is drawing a broad conclusion about not being admitted to any medical school based on a single rejection letter.
It's important to note that receiving one rejection letter does not necessarily mean that someone won't be admitted to any school. Each medical school has its own admission criteria and a rejection from one school does not reflect the outcome at other schools. It's important for your friend to consider the other applications and keep a positive outlook.
