Am I doing something wrong? Is there something personally wrong with me, my grades or my experiences that is preventing me from succeeding?In comparison to the last couple of years, this cycle has been very different, harder more competitive and most importantly very unpredictable but with 17 applications made and 11 rejections the odds are truly against me.Not sure about the future of this thread or my account in general :/ But in the meantime, I will keep the faith and keep applying and see where it leads me.Best,J 🪷</blockquote>
