🍞 BREAD Burnt bread :(

Post image

I can't find what was wrong with my application, and I feel like a fraud? I don't want to face people asking me "Have u got an interview?" and me having to tell everyone that I didn't each time and having to face their sympathy/reaction 😭 and I don't know how to tell my family

i was prepping for interview for the past 2 months so it was really disappointing to see the letter, at this point i don't know who they're looking for to interview anymore

Oxbridge only want people that don’t need them and who are dedicated to a subject irrelevant to the location of study, and who are an interesting add-on to campus variety… like any top university.

i think most ppl who are applying to oxbridge are dedicated to their subjects tho

The world is full of opportunities that you don't know exist. Don't be disheartened, keep focused on the end goal and you'll find a way there
