    You can try to find out why, maybe ringing them or emailing requesting feedback, sometimes they put the reason on ucas so if you click on that it may come up (not all unis do this though) Check you meet all the entrance requirements regarding grades. Unis sometimes look for different things so don't give up on the other 4!

    Find out why. Phone up and ask.

    It might be to do with 'experience' - ie. its a course aimed at people already working in the field.

    We don't know what your application was like, so we can't say how likely it is that your other choices will reject you. Very strong applications can still get rejected. If you are worried it is probably worth phoning up and getting feedback.

    Nursing is very competitive, so you may not get offers from everywhere.

    So disheartened to have my first response as a rejection
