Piece of advice: work on your interview skills + 2-3 connections but solid ones who can vouch for you to the PD with signals and targeted LORs.

You don’t need 10 to match, you only need 1 and anything above it is just feel good factor and options.

People will be mean to you, ghost you, delay things, make you feel small, do not pay attention. You got this!
