[QUOTE="Helena, post: 16952, member: 32"] This is tough Soliha as you are feeling pressured from all sides. My advice would be to focus on your exams and coursework which are of the utmost importance. I see you are in your final year of your degree. Many of us on TCLA have been in your situation and have now graduated. Your degree and what you achieve in your degree have to be your priority now. If that means waiting for the next cycle to reapply to firms, so be it. You will feel less stressed and this will be reflected in your applications and your approach to them. Sometimes we need time to grow and reflect in this sector and putting too much undue pressure on yourself to get applications in before deadlines will not improve your application success rate and nor will it help you to concentrate on your studies. Certainly if you have time to file a couple of applications, by all means do so but try not to feel you absolutely have to. It has to be right and you have to be in the right frame of mind, as these applications take a great deal of time and energy. You may be better placed waiting. Believe me I know how hard it is to balance everything. I have been there and I am still applying and not giving up. It is an arduous process, but we are all here to support you. [/QUOTE]
