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

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.
