Rejected of two rounds of applications and interviews for Counseling Practicum?

I am a master's student in Art therapy and Marriage and Family Therapy. Our program requires more than 750 hours and requires at least 500 of those hours to use art therapy with clients; the rest can be talk therapy. So, there are limited practicum sites that I can apply for. There are limited sites in my area. I am NOW at the point where I am applying to sites that are over a 75 minute driving commute (one way) time. I have gotten rejected twice after interviewing from 2 sites. My first round of applying, I applied to four sites and had two interviews. This round I have applied to 6 sites, and have had two interviews, with one more scheduled. Many sites, filled their positions within a week, that I was not fast enough to even apply for. I am doing all of this work on top of my regular graduate work, work, while having disabilities. I am feeling emotionally defeated and drained. If I can not get a practicum site, then I will not be able to graduate and become licensed. I am furious at the situation. I understand that COVID-19 caused many sites to close for supervision, and now the competition to find a site is very high. How are my less experienced classmates getting hired while I am not? But I am not the only one in this boat, one of my peers it took her three rounds of applying before she got a site, she felt it was partially due to age discrimination. I am wondering where I am going wrong? I am working closely with the practicum director and a career counselor. I did not have this problem when applying for regular jobs, and even the job I am currently at wants to promote me. So what am I doing wrong? I am also working closely with a career coach and the practicum director. I have a website and a digital portfolio, which I have specially for practicum.

Should I follow up with colleges who have rejected me?

I have received rejection letters from a couple of colleges and neither of them said why I was not accepted. I would like to know why I was not chosen, but would they even answer my email? #college #rejection #collegerejection

What can I do if I get rejected to my dream college?

I've already sent in my college applications, but now I'm just waiting for the results and I keep worrying about whether I'll get accepted or not to my dream college. If I get rejected, then I'll feel like the countless hours working on my application, volunteer work, and grades will all have been a big waste of time. How can I ease my anxiety, and if I get rejected, what can I do to handle the situation? #nervous #future #rejection #copingmethods

How do I tell my parents that I didn't make it into my dream school?

I was really excited to go and we spent a lot of time and money on visits and making arrangements in case I was accepted. Now I didn't even make it through the first round of applicants. I don't know how to bring it up to my parents without making it sound like it isn't a big deal. #RejectionLettersAreActuallyARealThing #rejection #college-rejection #college-applications
