Hello Everyone! Idk if this is the right place for this or not but I’m doing it anyway!
I just wanted an outlet to express my feelings over a certain manner …. I applied to a good amount of schools this cycle. And while I am eternally grateful that I managed to get accepted into ONE, I have been rejected at literally All others (so far). The one I got into was my In-state school and I have been rejected from every Out of State schools.
I know I probably shouldn’t even care much about the rejections since the in-state was my top choice but I can’t help but feel like … idk … that maybe I’m still not good enough??
The thing that gets me most is that I interviewed at most Out of State schools I applied to but I guess I wasn’t enough
I am more on the quiet / shy side so interviews were harder on me than most (I’m assuming
). So when I keep getting rejected at schools I interviewed at, it hits a little harder since that is the part I’m most insecure about.
My in-state did have an interview as well and I managed to make it ! But having the others school reject me has made me feel like I still suck at interviewing, I’m actually not good enough to be a vet, and the only reason I got into the in-state school was because I was in-state.
I’m not sure why that matters to me so much … but here we are.
Again, I know I should incredibly happy that life gave me an acceptance into a vet school so all this shouldn’t matter much.
ALSO …. My parents aren’t the most supportive people in the world so every accomplishment I’ve had thus far in life has been belittled. Since family is important to me, I have grown to do the same and belittle basically everything and anything I accomplish.
I know I should be happy and proud of myself but I’m kinda more on the “ehh” side about it. (But maybe it just hasn’t fully sinked in??)
I would love any advice anyone can give me !
Thanks ! (And thanks for reading all this)
