Copying my post from SBT'12 thread. I am not sure how much relevance this holds here. Still thought to share.
------------------------------------------------ Last year it was my first attempt. Everyone in my college was preparing for the placements. None of my immediate friends were thinking of cat. I was the only one. It was a choice I had made, it was a promise I had made to myself. It's not that my college placements weren't good or an MBA would have considerably increased my chances of a better pay package. The money never mattered. I got placed in Aug first week last year, not in a great and promising organization but still okish one. I saw many of my friends getting placed in XYZ organization for jaw-dropping packages. My parents sometimes asked me, whether I had made the right decision? I was confident, I had made the right one. It wasn't the money I was after, it was simple I didn't love CS/IT any more. I wanted something which wasn't monotonous. I had been doing well in mocks apart from few hiccups, so was pretty sure would perform well in CAT/XAT and probably join B-School next year. I had only one vision. I had no backup. I had a promise to keep.
The results came, CAT was disaster(no calls). XAT was fine with 99, still no calls, XL thought I wasn't a good Decision Maker. I cried a lot. I cried wherever I went. I cried in metro, I cried in office, I cried when I woke up, I cried when I went to sleep, I cried while walking, I even cried in my dreams.
It took me almost 3-4 months to recover and dream again. The scenario is again the same. My friends are switching jobs. My parents ask : are you preparing for CAT whole-heartedly(as if I didn't do last year). The mocks are going fine (a good number of mocks went bad as well). I still have only one vision. I still don't have a backup. I still have a promise to keep.
I don't know what the future holds. But deep down I know, even if I fail, I shall fail without regrets. In any fight winning or losing doesn't matter. You can get lucky and win...but deep down you mite know, you didn't deserve. You can get unlucky and lose....but deep down you mite never regret.
The joy of win and anguish of loss is ephemeral. The feeling of regret would be permanent.

Thanks for reposting !! :mg:
I was about to quote it from there on this thread 😃
Love your signature and I feel each and every underdog like us should just believe it and live it every moment at different phases of life! Especially, to keep us passionate for what we want to achieve as ultimate goal!!
I might sound redundant, but just know that you are meant to achieve much higher and bigger things in life!! Any exam, any college, any company , any profile .. is just going to serve as the means to acheive that goal !!
The passion that an underdog has to do good in exam should never die in every facet of his/her life . Because we have it in us, to mould the situation back from an adverse state to a state where we want it to be !! And this is what differentiates underdogs from others! 😃
All the best people and as kaptaan saahab said, start sharing your scores here, so that everyone can help each other better and live the purpose of the thread. 😃
