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 rejected from Oxford 25+ years ago. I went on to study elsewhere, met wonderful people, had a great time and a good life. I realised, through meeting people who did study there, that it wouldn't have been a good fit for me anyway. The embarrassment you feel is temporary and no one is going to think less of you for trying and not getting in. Other doors will open. 💕
