Well done! When did you apply?

Applied around the 5th of October I think? Sometime before the 15th anyway. I know other people who have applied for CH in Arts and none of them have heard back yet so I wouldn't worry

I was right - it sounds like it was GCSEs and extra-curriculars:

In your case, your academic profile was not as strong as those of many other applicants and your personal statement did not demonstrate the criteria we look for to the same extent as those of the best applicants.

I'm not sure, that seems like a pretty generic response :/ they wouldn't want to mention your reference because you could go sick at whoever wrote yours. Don't let it get you down though
