Got rejected from Oxbridge 2 weeks ago and still haven't recovered. I have wanted to study at Oxbridge since I was 10 years old. All my studies have been justified by the eager to attend Oxbridge.
Being rejected makes me feel like life is over, and that I failed @ life. I have yet to tell my family. 2 weeks and I still haven't told them, I just can't. Not because the put pressure on me, which they dont. No because I am embarrassed of myself.
I can't see myself being happy while studying at another uni..Additionally I am the only one in the family that has ever "succeed". Therefor I've always wanted to "succee" in order to help everyone I love.
Nevertheless, it is not really about my family, its about me and myself. I have high hopes on myself and now I feel worthless. I can't think clearly these days because of the depression this has caused.
