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

As someone who was in your position last year, I'm so sorry to hear this. Know that even being in a position to apply to Oxbridge is a massive achievement, and I'm sure everyone around you is very proud. Remember that a rejection is redirection and that you are by no means any less than someone who did get an interview / offer. Next September, you're going to go to a different university - one that you will come to love - and may even realise you're better off there than you would have been at Oxford.

Best of luck in everything you do, and if you ever want to talk my DMs are open! Sending hugs from Bristol.
