I don't know If it qualifies as an unexpected moment, but in June I tried to enter in a French business school and I had to take a competitive exam. We were around 1500 students to take the exam which included 2 stages (1. A long essay on a specific topic and a test which is like the GMAT ; 2. Oral exam and an English oral test).

At the end, I didn't pass. I was close, one point close. It hurts and it will probably change the course of my life career wise for the better or the worst.
