[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 67698, member: 5063"] Hey, First off - thanks for reaching out and posting this. It's brave and highly commendable. You're not the only one in this position, so don't feel isolated. I personally think you should take some time away from it all - take several months away, give yourself some breathing space and try not to think about it. When you're ready to begin thinking about the next cycle, there's quite a lot you can do before the cycle has started, including: - Have some of your old apps reviewed. Get some pointers for what's likely to have gone against you so that you can target these areas. Although you've had others read your apps, our team are doing it all the time and are highly tuned to what GR look for! Reviews should be included with your level of subscription to some level - Compile a spreadsheet of firms you want to apply to, check whether they're rolling, and begin to prioritise your apps - Start substantive research on some of your target firms - For rolling firms, start preparing answers/ cover letters based on previous years - they generally don't change a vast amount year to year - Ensure your CV is up to date and on point for apps that require a CV submission - Keep your commercial awareness up by reading/ following news, following CA discussions on here etc. Finally, as you mention, all is not lost (not in the slightest) if you don't secure an offer before you graduate. Plenty of candidates, as you mention, secure TCs post-graduation. Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
