I started working with them in June last year. Spend 1-1.5 months on forming my story and polishing everything. Applied in august first week i think Trust me, same. I’m an admit and everyday I look at my classmates and think "how will I survive here?", "I got in but do I deserve to be here? I’m so gonna be in the bottom of the tank"

The imposter syndrome never ends

You’ll always always always doubt yourself. But you need to believe that things will work out and take a leap of faith

Imposter syndrome is good because it tells you that you’ll have to work hard and it’s not going to be a walk in the park. It would suck to be the smartest person in your class right?

Yes but what if you can’t really relate to any of the class profiles?

I guess we’ve overshot our time by a bit, I’m so glad that we were able to do this. We will work to share our linkedIn profiles on this chat. Please do reach out to us if you guys have any doubts during your application process. There is light at the end of the tunnel and if you put your heart and soul into it, I promise you, that light is a Fuqua admit. All the best everyone. Unfortunately I’m not so active on the forum anymore, but will try to check in once in a while to help out wherever I can!
