My first unsuccessful application

[starsthatshine]

Edinburgh just rejected my application.

I'm a little bit bummed, but not entirely heartbroken. I know that regardless of where I end up, I will make my best to learn, which is essentially why I'm there. What bothers me most perhaps is that I don't have a reason for the unsuccessfulness of my application which is perhaps the most bothersome. I don't think I'm sad, but I guess I'm disappointed in a way. But I know I did my best so to be honest there was really nothing I could do.

But so far my status goes:

Aberdeen - English (Conditional)
Dundee - English (Conditional)
Edinburgh - English Literature (Unsuccessful)
Glasgow - English Literature (Conditional)
St Andrews - English (Acknowledged)

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that St Andrews will accept me into their programme, but even if they don't, I'm perfectly content going to Glasgow.

Or an insufficient PS, as St Andrews told my sis. But I guess that they sort of ran out of places.

It's sort of funny, I can't wait to go to uni, but at the same time I know I will miss my hometown Umeå/Sweden a lot. Funny how that happens :P

I think a lot of people feel that way about going to uni. It must be particularly strong for you, though, since you're going to be studying in another country.

Yeah. And I've never been to an English speaking country before, so imagine the cold feet I'm going to get just before. But whatever, I say that it's better to try my wings and fall than never spread them at all. :)
