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.

Sorry to hear that Edinburgh rejected you application :( Perhaps you could email/call and ask them later on why your application was unsuccessful? Maybe they'll disclose the reason to you. But in the end, it's their loss, they could've had a kick-ass student in their department :P

Yay for the others though! Best of luck with St. Andrews!

I'm thinking about it but ultimately I think it's about a limited number of places and that perhaps they didn't have enough of my grades (I have a lot of pending courses) to make a decisive decision so they decided to reject me. Maybe.

Thank you so much :D And even if I don't go into St Andrews, I'm going to be perfectly happy going to Glasgow.
