oxford rejection mini vlog + how i processed it (stoic version)

hey guys hope you enjoy the video and if you're in a similar situation PLEASE BE KIND TO YOURSELF remember you're amazing regardless of how an institution's slightly patchy application/interview process saw it please don't base your self worth on their response

and remember that you create your own happiness going to oxbridge/top university does not guarantee that you'll never experience bad emotions too ! make the most of wherever you go by carrying happiness within you rather than hoping it comes from your surroundings :)

icl im really happy with the feeback my college gave me i feel like it gave me good closure so i'd definitely recommend asking for feedback if you haven't already just in case it gives you an ego boost
'Your application has excellent grades; you are clearly driven with many interests (climate and youth as well as biology), making your personal statement very impressive. In the interviews, you came across as enthusiastic, and with a clear passion for the subject. You gave good responses on the questions around your personal statement, bringing in recent learning. Our tutors enjoyed the discussion around technical questions, and your genuine interest in the topics explored. However, you needed a fair amount of help to eventually get to the answers, although our tutors appreciated your logical and transparent thought processes. In summary, your application was very good, but unfortunately was not quite enough to be offered a place compared to other applicants.'
i guess how you answer the interview qs are so dependent on if you're aware of the topic they ask you about i got one about cicadas haha but they remembered who i am since they mentioned my interest in climate and since they said my application was 'very good' i feel like i acc did pretty well and was probably close to getting an offer #mogged ! anyways this is validating my current delusions that if i still feel a pull to oxford i could go at a later time just not the right time now x
