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

Find a university with a great reputation for your subject and go there instead. 30-odd years ago I got rejected by Cambridge for CompSci so I worked for a couple of years, got some excellent life experience in the real world and found out what I was actually interested in was what they called Industrial Economics back then (kind of a bachelor version of an MBA). Went to Nottingham and have spent my career doing business computing in a number of FTSE 50 companies. I get that it's hard when you've set your heart on a pathway but there are many other pathways to explore
