Advice on what to do now

Hi WSO,

I am a second year student in Australia studying a Bachelor of Commerce. I have an overseas internship under my belt identifying growth opportunities and have recently applied to the two biggest finance clubs FMAA and FSA. I got rejected from both of them, leading me to reflect on myself (clearly didn't answer the behavioral questions well). I only recently found out that I wanted to pursue finance as my career, and so I am really bummed about missing out on this opportunity. I understand I am at a severe disadvantage when compared to my peers, and so I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what to focus my energy on right now.
