[QUOTE="elle.brokovitch, post: 248148, member: 44050"] I did my undergrad at a prestigious university, and was practically crapping it the whole of my first year; i came from a state college and had little to no experience of my subject outside of my passion for it. meanwhile everyone else came from huge international or private schools, had years of internship and work experience in the field as seemed to be complete experts in the field. to say i had many wobbles would be an understatement; i had serious impostor syndrome! but everytime i had it, i would keep going back to what they told us on the first day; "we had hundreds and thousands of applicants, great applicants. out of all of the applicants, we hand picked you, and we did so for a reason. so everytime you feel out of place, or as if you don't belong, remember that out of the thousands, you were who we wanted, you were always meant to be here." and in your case-it's true. imagine how many applicants have applied for the vacation scheme, you were handpicked for it-you were the best person for the job. sometimes it is not at all about your background, how many experiences you have or haven't had, but despite that, you were chosen, for who you are. so carry that with confidence! you didn't need a fancy uni to succeed, simply being who you are, and bringing what you bring, was enough to secure you a vac scheme-and that is fantastic! wishing you the best of luck superstar!
