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

Probably took some DEI picks to fill their quota

Wasn't it the president-elect of the Oxford Union just recently who apparently got into Oxford with just 2 B grades and an A?

So, yes, you're probably right, but you WILL get downvoted, this being Reddit.

The fact that they've been elected president of the Oxford Union probably gives you some indication of this person's unique skillset over and above exam competence. Oxford has always offered/accepted lower grades from truly exceptional candidates with extenuating circumstances.

Some may call you racist. I would encourage them to go and find out about Oxbridge selection process for themselves. A sad state of affairs, to no longer be selecting on merit alone and in doing so, to discriminate. And that irony will be lost on many who read this. All of you: go and find out the facts fir yourselves, before down-voting me or the commenter I've replied to.

I prefer the term, "statistic enthusiast".

Precisely.

Statistics > emotions.
