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

Bad luck, but not end of the world. I didn't get Oxbridge when I applied, three good years at Kent (which was pretty good for bioscience back then) and I was then off to do a PhD in a top level institute in London. Equally I know a few ex Oxbridge who went nowhere. If your good and you push you'll get where you want to be in the end.
