But honestly, what you’ve described is still very normal.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Four rejections at this point really isn’t a red flag. A lot of candidates who go on to get TCs (sometimes more than one) have a pretty rough early run.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You’ve still got half of your current applications outstanding, and you’re planning another 6–8. That’s a solid number- you only need to land one.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Each firm looks at you in isolation. A rejection from one doesn’t 'carry over' or say much about how the next firm will see you. Plus, you'll likely improve at the highly unique skill of application writing, online tests etc.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Applying to more firms isn’t a sign you’re failing - it’s just how the odds work in a competitive process, especially if you’re being selective and reflective.</li> </ul>It can help to reframe things slightly: the goal isn’t to get through without rejections (almost no one does), it’s to give yourself enough well-prepared chances that one converts.If it helps, this is often a good moment to pause and lightly recalibrate rather than panic - maybe check whether your firm spread makes sense, or whether there’s one small tweak you could make to answers for the next batch.You’re not behind, and you’re not out. Keep going - this stage is draining, but it’s still very much in play!</blockquote>
