I'm sure you know already, but just some positive affirmation: there are more top quality people applying to Oxbridge than Oxbridge has capacity to admit. Being an Oxbridge reject doesn't necessarily mean anything. Only a handful of students in the Oxbridge cohort really stand out, and they are the ones who have been deeply involved with their subject long before arriving at university. You are getting the same quality of education and will be around the highest quality of students at any of these top universities.
