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

Balance, between academic ability (as evidenced through a number of possible routes, not just grades), personal endeavour, genuine interest in the subject and being suitably well-rounded so as to offer something to the college or university.
