[QUOTE="yzyzyz, post: 138626, member: 16453"] Hi all, I don't post very often and honestly this post is quite difficult for me - apologies for the negativities in this post! I am feeling so demotivated recently and it's really affecting my confidence. This is my second cycle, although there have been huge improvements compared to my first cycle, I still can't help but feel so hopeless in the process of securing a TC. Last year I did not get past the app stage at all, I did not even get test invites (if non-automatic). But this year I made it past a few first-stage screenings and managed to secure two ACs. I know this is very positive and suggests improvements in my applications, but I completed my first AC two weeks ago and don't think it went well. I have not heard back yet but I am fairly certain it's gonna be a PFO. I have my second AC on Friday but am just currently feeling so discouraged and finding it hard to focus on prepping for that AC. I feel like I worked so hard to finally get past the app stage but am now stuck at the AC stage. I know I shouldn't compare but seeing so many people on this forum just absolutely nailing every interview makes me doubt if I am smart enough to do this... A TC just seems so out of reach, I don't really know how to find motivation anymore but at the same time I feel like I have to pull myself back up, as my other AC is in a few days. I would really appreciate any advice. I know most people with TCs have received a lot of rejections, but I still can't help but feel discouraged. Again I am very sorry for the negativities in this post - I just really needed to rant. Thank you for reading and for any advice! [/QUOTE]
