Applicant's Advice
"Don't judge yourself based on rejections. Embrace what makes you unique. Put your heart into applications and try harder than everyone else. Self-belief and self-perception matter—don't give up before you begin. Reach out for help but ultimately trust yourself. You can defy odds if you prove to yourself you can do better."
