How do you feel? eh. It was always my wildcard choice but after going up for interview there I really thought I was in with a chance. Considering asking them why they rejected me.

Outcome: Rejection
How did you hear? (email/letter/phone/owl): Email, it was sent at 10am but I only just opened it (I didn't want to take my phone to school and open any emails there)
How do you feel? I thought it might happen but I still feel a little bit disappointed, I tried so hard and prepared loads, so it's definitely a shame. I really loved their course, but now I'm looking forward and thinking about the other universities I applied to and where else I will be able to go. I had two interviews because I'm doing two languages and I think it was probably my first one that let me down because I felt really nervous in that one, whereas the second one seemed to go ok... :frown:

How did you hear? (email/letter/phone/owl): Letter- the post man decided to be the latest he's been in weeks, just to further make me nervous.
How do you feel? Really great- would have been very disappointed if I hadn't got in- mainly because family/friends seem to be expecting me to get in. Glad I didn't let them down :biggrin:
