Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daniel Boden" data-source="post: 29682" data-attributes="member: 487">Firstly thank you for your kind words! I know myself and [USER=1160]@Alice G[/USER] really appreciate them <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />In terms of your question, firstly I think you should know that what you feel is completely normal and that everyone goes through periods of self-doubt so you really are not alone in this!Alice pretty much took the words out of my mouth haha. Given I also was unsuccessful in getting a TC from Weil (which was made even harder to swallow when my supervisors told me they had recommended me for one) I completely get your thoughts and do share the feeling that the pressure is on me to a certain extent to get a TC this time around with Gibson Dunn. That said, I really think having the approach of just throwing yourself into the scheme, being yourself and doing everything you can to enjoy it and give the best account of yourself is the best way forward. I am a great believer in whatever will be will be or 'qué será será' to show off my Spanish a little <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />That's to say that if I feel I have done everything possible my end to get the TC and perform well on the scheme through my preparation then I really can't be annoyed at myself and if that means I get a TC amazing but if it doesn't then, whilst I'll be gutted initially, it is a great learning opportunity and will only make me an even stronger candidate going forwards.I hope that helps and please feel free to reach out with any further follow-up questions - I too am an open book in this regard <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />EDIT: just to add to the above and I think my sporting background helps me with this but I'd really encourage anyone feeling this way to just focus on controlling what you can control. As hard as it may sound initially, I am a great believer in that if we focus on doing the best we can on each task we are given, on each bit of preparation we do then there really is nothing more to be worried or concerned about as the result will take care of itself and at the very least we should be proud of our efforts <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
