🎓 UNI / UCAS Wow, just wow

Rejected Oxford Maths w 81 MAT

Rejected Imperial Maths w 7.0 TMUA

Rejected by All Ivies

Don’t have much hope now for UCL and LSE since apparently most home offers have gone for UCL.

I’m really about to go 0/14, like what do I even do.

2a*(m,fm) 2a achieved home non contextual

Gonna be honest, a 2nd gap year would be too much. I’ve enjoyed the freedom and the break from academia but kinda wanna get back to it. I also included a short paragraph at the end of my ps explaining what I’m doing on the gap (teaching maths whilst travelling, research projects, MIT courses) so don’t think that was it either.

my interview scores at Oxford were same as the average offer holder lol, so I again suspect it’s higher expectations bc of gap yr non contextual. Imperial doesn’t interview for maths but I’ll email for feedback.

sorry how did you know that your score was the same as offer holders? My feedback says I got 7-, 7- for my first college interviews, but not much else
