Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 184602" data-attributes="member: 36777">Hey [USER=33892]@Tallat[/USER], I just wanted to firstly thank you for creating this thread - I think it will be really valuable for our community members to see how you progress on your journey throughout the year. Also, to mention the perhaps cliche but still very true piece of advice that you should never let other people tell you your dream is unrealistic. In my vacation schemes with top US and MC firms, I have seen people from all varieties of backgrounds and circumstances succeed - not only the straight 1.1s Oxbridge type of candidates. In my own journey, I struggled a lot with self-doubt. In my first application cycle I was rejected at first stage in every single one of my applications and I begun to wonder whether or not I was good enough for this. However, I managed to use my frustration as a source of motivation and to come back more determined than ever before. Subsequently, I became more successful than I could have ever dreamed to in my applications and certainly more than anyone expected me to. When asked about what led to all of this success in one of my final TC interviews, I realised it had only been one thing: determination. There weren't any moments of pure brilliance or in which I demonstrated any extraordinary abilities. I was fundamentally the same person I was a year ago when I was getting rejected everywhere. The one thing that changed was how serious, motivated, and organized I managed to keep myself throughout the cycle. All that is to say, none of this would have been possible if I had listened to the people who were telling me to lower and recalibrate my ambitions. So my advice to you is to stick by your plan and to know your worth regardless of what others might say <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />!</blockquote>
