Everything between us was genuinely beautiful — the late-night conversations, the morning voice notes, and the future we were slowly mapping out. Then, it all ended so abruptly, right before we were supposed to finally meet in person last week.

I know you got overwhelmed and felt burnt out. Even if you felt like you had to build a wall to protect yourself, it doesn't change a single thing about how I feel. Keeping you might have been hard, but loving you was the easiest and most natural thing I have ever done.

I am just putting this out into the void to let go of this one last thought: my feelings haven't changed. I still love you, and I will be right here if you ever reach out.

Pata Hai Aaj Kya Hua? - Nothing

TL;DR: We had a beautiful connection that ended abruptly right before our first meet-up. I(23M) just want her(20F) to know that regardless of why she pulled away, my love remains unconditional, and I am still waiting here if she ever asks for me.

8/5/7 SC Category with 52% in 12th (PCMB) & a backlog — Is CAT still worth attempting?

My profile:

10th: ~83%

12th: ~52% (PCMB)

Graduation: B.Pharm, ~7.7 CGPA (Graduated in 2025 instead of 2024 due to a backlog)

Work Ex: Medical Coding (Joined 2024)

Category: SC

I’m confused about whether my 12th marks and graduation timeline make CAT/IIMs unrealistic for me, especially considering my background with math.

Do most IIMs have a strict 60% cutoff in 12th for interview calls, or are there significant relaxations for the SC category?

Will 52% in 12th and a graduation backlog automatically reject me from top B-schools?

My math was good in 10th, but I really struggled and lost interest in 12th PCMB math because it felt completely different. Given this, how difficult will the CAT Quant section be for me, and where should I start?

Since I started working in 2024 but didn't officially clear my backlog and graduate until 2025, how will my work experience be counted during admissions?

Even if I convert an IIM or a good private college, will final placements be affected because of the “60% throughout academics” criteria that many companies have?

Looking for honest opinions from people with similar profiles or current MBA students.
