Feeling like a failure - what's next?

Been feeling pretty down and stressed about still not securing an SA27 offer. I come from a target school, have a decent GPA, have club mentors and people supporting me so I am truly grateful. I'm getting interviews, which is really good luck, but I am not ultimately converting and I feel like such a failure for letting down the people who have supported me all throughout.

I think most BB's and EB's are done with my school and I think now is left for middle market and regional boutiques? How should I go about - I am from New York and preferrably want to stay within New York (hope that's not too much of an ask)

would appreciate any words of advice or encouragement
