[QUOTE="TDayne, post: 228928, member: 43462"] No, I completely understand this feeling - you are definitely not alone in feeling this way! A lot of people fixate on the numbers, but that also includes people who end up getting offers! It is important to remember that, despite the numbers looking very high and daunting, those numbers also include people who are applying with no real interest in the firm, rushed and generic applications, and applicants who are not even eligible to apply just yet. If you have taken the time to research, reflected properly, and shown genuine motivation, you are already not in the “3000”. It is completely normal to feel hopeless at times. This process is long, gruelling, and often unrewarding in the short term. That does not mean you are doing something wrong or that you are not good enough, though. Maybe try to focus on what you can control. For example, writing thoughtful and tailored applications, working to improve with each cycle, and building experience and confidence. The numbers do not define your potential or your future as a lawyer. Please be kind to yourself. Remember, you only need one yes 😊 [/QUOTE]
