Cambridge Rejects

Yesterday I was sent my rejection by Cambridge, and I know many others are in the same boat, so I've decided to make something amusing out of it, and have created a blog about my life post Cambridge rejection. Hopefully it'll make any fellow rejects smile- or offer holders too for that matter..!

that was a pretty amusing blog, nice writing! Got pooled, and likely will be rejected soon, so maybe I will write a blog too - probably not good as yours though. Good Luck, you seem pretty cool, funny and chilled! You sound nothing like a nerd or anything, maybe that is why you got rejected (not being discriminating, just seen so many nerds get in) I am sad that they dont value your social behaviour or anything, because I laughed quite a lot with my interviewees.

Very interesting read OP. its great that you're focussing on the positives. Always remember everything happens for a reason

What are your other offers if you don't mind me asking

Thanks! I have 2 from Exeter and one from York so far!

Congrats! Have you also applied for UCL? Its a great uni too..

Did you really wear a tartan mini-skirt?

Your blog made me smile lol, don't worry about it loads of people didn't go Cambridge and they still made something worthwhile of themselves!

Thank you for this. My son received his rejection a couple of hours ago and it's very tough watching the disappointment and the attempts to put on a brave face. We are very proud that he was selected for interview and that he has four other good offers. He's an incredibly bright, articulate, creative person and it's Cambridge's loss.

I know you'll be fine. Good luck wherever you decide to go.

I'm glad you made this thread.

But i'm actually sick of people defining their entire existence by which university they go to.

Not getting into Cambridge doesn't mean you failed in life. If that was the case all the hundreds of millions of happy and successful people who didn't go to Cambridge wouldn't exist.

So in the great words of someone. Man the **** up and remember you control your own life and destiny not your regrets and bull****.


I'm also curious as to what your other options were, so quote me people
