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.

Phew, that's good. I'm member of this forum where it seems like everyone are getting accepted to their top uni so I'm sort of comforted by the fact that I'm not alone :)

A lot of people don't get into their top choices, and for a lot of reasons, from whose parents have money, what schools they were fortunate enough to attend, space, grades, activities, blah blah blah. So don't take it as a hit to your intelligence or pride. Plenty of bright people don't make their first choice, but going somewhere is better than nowhere at all. X3
