I think it well may well be a fourth cycle for me looking at the way things are going...

Cleary VS PFO - I know this might sound crazy but I'm low key happy I finally heard back from a firm

This season has been distinctly awful for me too.

Can I ask when you applied?

 

[E.A]

Can I ask when you applied?

on the deadline (was one of those last minute ones so probably why it doesn't hurt much)

 

[law230]

Anyone else still waiting to hear back from Cleary?

I applied on the 23rd?

Listen, I’ve never seen this much of my Junk mailbox. I’m refreshing that sucker and my inbox every 7 minutes

 

[Numerius Negidius]

Rejected from Cleary

 

[law230]

How is it humanly possible to do uni work while waiting for apps. I want to cry 24/7.

Also still waiting. I'm not naive enough to believe its good news.

Some say naive, others say optimistic

 

[Samantha]

Cleary rejection. Brutal. Applied 21st.

 

[SamTam99]

Another Clearly rejection here! Applied on deadline day so not in the least bit surprised!

You need to basically split your life up into a pie chart and when you are doing coursework, remove anything that reminds you of apps. Immerse yourself in your degree - because remember, the outcome of your degree is important too. Lemme know if you wanna chat about this.

 

[Celestie]

I don't know what this Cleary firm is but christ they are on a rejection rick-roll today. Sorry for the bad news everyone - chin up!

 

[MJ90]

Are these cleary rejections all in the last hour or less-I’m getting worried

I'm knitting a blanket. I recommend knitting as a hobby for anyone. It's a lot easier than people think and it makes you feel like you're actually being productive when you watch netflix for 4 hours.

Also there are some good indie games to pick up if you want quick cheap fun on steam: omori, pikuniku, and return of the obra dinn are my current time wasters.

I'd recommend Big Wool (Rowan have wool actually called Big Wool) and BIG needles. Very satisfying. Very fast.
