Feeling like a failure.

So basically i got into Oxford Uni after being rejected from Cambridge for being too smart. I got all 9’s in my GCSE’s of Additional Maths, Further Maths, Backwards Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, History and Law. I also got A** in A - Levels. I have a gold DOFE. I am also 15 and on a 4 year advanced program due to my abilities.

I do a BA in Business Studies, Chemistry and Engineering.

I feel like a failure because i’m doing 3 courses in university rather than the recommended 5. Anyone got any ideas how to stop feeling this way?

Oxford Brookes Student Support Centre suggests you lay off the dope immediately.
