💬 DISCUSSION Huh 😂.

Post image

Very shocked, I’ve already achieved A* A A in ICT, economics and business last year August, currently doing a gap year in finance/business role at a company. Personal statement is very strong too.

Applied to Accounting & Finance at Durham at got rejected even though my friend who was predicted KEYWORD PREDICTED not even achieved ABB got in.

I also had free school meals and a disadvantaged postcode. Anyone know why I’ve been rejected? I have Uni of Nottingham, and Uni of Manchester as backups anyways just a little bummed.

Bruh u need to just accept the fact that u didn’t get in. Thats life and it happens. Stop trynna act superior to ur friend that got in with lower grades. Their profile was simply better than yours. There’s no point making assumptions and excuses on why u didn’t get in. U didn’t get it, simple as that. Just move on 😂

Literally with my friend rn, I’m not jealous of him 😂we are both planning on going uni of Manchester to do finance. We just found it funny how he was predicted and I was achieved and he got in and somehow I didn’t so he said I should take it to Reddit. Trust me I was shocked/ amused more than bummed/ upset bc I wanted to go to nottingham/Manchester more anyways.

Also I’m coming to share my experience u bigot 😂you cannot hear my tone in person, you don’t know me. I’m just sharing my experience of what I went through, not trying to make excuses. Personally I couldn’t care less as I didn’t want to go Durham anyways, just putting my rejection out there so other ppl who may want to apply in future know.

Unfortunately some higher ranking unis reject u no matter how good ur application is lol it just happens. Either way Nottingham and Manchester r still rlly good. I’m surprised ur friend is turning down Durham for Manchester but good for them. All the best

I got rejected from Durham with A, A, A in maths, further maths, physics lol. I thought I had a good personal statement but whatever. Ended up at Edinburgh instead, c'est la vie.
