[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 244427, member: 42112"] Hey! Thank you for the update - you should give yourself massive credit for pushing on, as this process is super tough! Getting to ACs, VIs, job sims and TIs across a broad range of firms is not easy at all (particularly Slaughters!), and it is a strong indicator that your applications are working. PFOs can be really brutal, and it is completely valid to feel worn down by them. However, the fact that you are consistently progressing past the initial application stages shows that you are doing a lot right. I must have received 15+ PFOs last cycle before I was successful, and I ended the cycle with a few VS offers. It really does feel like a numbers game at times, and often it only takes one firm to see that you are the perfect fit for them. Try not to let the rejections overshadow how well you have done this cycle so far - you are clearly competitive, and you are still very much in the running! As you said, keep your spirits high, and I look forward to following along! :) [/QUOTE]
