It is an extremely tough day today. Never thought it would be this tough. Getting so many II in the beginning of the cycle gave me a sense of false hope and confidence. I just don't know how to get through feeling so down. I have been WL at 8 schools now (all top 20s) so it is a crapshoot to get off. I applied broadly but only got love from top ones. I did mock interviews and practice a bunch and was told I did well but just needed to work on not speaking too fast. I'm usually a sociable person and have many friends so not awkward at all. I'm just so drained and don't know how to move forward. This completely tanked my confidence.

I know there are lots of posts on this already but I just needed to get it out. Thanks for listening

***update: thank you all for making me feel so much better. Reading all your messages got me chocked up. I just felt like I’m not alone and you guys understood what I’m going through. I’m really hoping to get off of one WL with some luck:) 🤞🏻
