I worked hard and need guidance now, for hope is a beautiful thing

Hi guys,

I worked really hard for the SA and got 3 ACs in London summer as an international from Paris. Also interviewed for a bunch of EBs and the likes of PJT and torch partners. For some reason I also interviewed for BCG middle East and failed to secure an offer. I am thorough with all the guides, read cases, practised hirevues (thats how I cleared them). But for some reason I am aways rejected in teh last round, my mind starts saying its done end this. Can you help me in this? Did you guys ever feel, to keep going. I am now gunning myself for FT and summer next year, have till July to prepare again and am doing everything in my power. Please guide me on how do you make through the last leg, is life going to be this difficult always. How much is luck important? My own alumni rejected me for one question, and I lost a london BB for which other 3 interviewers quote said I am fantastic but she rejected me after saying my corporate finance was superb. How much does luck hurt everything in life? Is there hope?
