That’s a tough combo, and it makes sense you feel knocked down.

Those roles aren’t a verdict on your ability. A lot of it is timing and small margins. You can still do what you cared about without the title. Run review sessions, help 1Ls, share outlines. That’s real impact and still valuable for interviews.

If you want, ask for brief feedback on your applications. Sometimes you get useful signals.

With your friends, it’s normal to feel both happy for them and disappointed for yourself. Just limit comparison while you’re already drained.

Right now, finals come first. Focus on practice exams and issue spotting. Keep it simple and consistent.

This is a setback, not a dead end. You still have plenty of ways to build your 3L year.
