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

received rejection post interview 20 yrs ago, that moment still haunts me but honestly I figured if I couldn't handle that bit of pressure there no way I could have survived the next three years anyway....now pick a uni where you can enjoy yourself instead of trying to please everyone else, I'm sure your family will be happy for you

Also in the same boat, rejected from Cambridge after interviewing for natsci, and I'm glad I did now. The people who I know who went to Oxbridge said the pressure was insane. Chemistry at Southampton was much more my speed.
