Lol I found out by track too! I called up fitz to ask why I hadn't received post and they told me to email with my UCAS number and course so they could scan the letter, so I logged onto track to check my number and there was the rejection. Happy days.

you can get rejected for being arrogant...? wtf? i thought they only cared about your academic ability

Oh no no I didn't get rejected because I was "arrogant" I'm not an arrogant person at all lol I've no reason to

It's just that someone on here perceived me as being arrogant because I said BTEC were much easier than A levels... Lol

Are you EU citizen or from outside EU?
If it's the latter, it's extremely difficult to stay on after graduated to work in UK because of much stricter visa requirement than it used to be. You're only give 4 months or so to find a job for which your employers is happy to pay to cost to obtain the working visa for you.
A lot of Cambridge (or other top unis) graduates had to go back to their country because they couldn't get a visa within the time limit.

Oh no.

I wanted to stay on and work in the UK after graduating. :frown:

If that's the case, I presume you need to start hunting for jobs in your second/third year so that you've got a longer time? I was thinking about IB, so second year internship then catapulted to a job offer after that.

Yes, definitely.
It's getting more and more difficult last few years because of the difficulty the UK has been facing in controlling the rapidly increasing number of immigrants. Because they can't put limit to EU immigrants, the immigrants from outside EU is being the victim of the policy.
I know too many very talented Cambridge (and some other top uni's) graduates having to leave UK even though they wanted to stay to work.
Internship at IB is extremely competitive, international or not, so if you really want stay in UK, consider other options, too, at the same time. Once you got a job and working permit, it's much easier to find another job afterwards.
You have to find an employer who is happy to pay all the cost (and spend a time to go through) for the work permit application process) for you. And there's a minimum salary level you have to be earning to be given the permit, too. (this won't be a problem if you find a job at IB, but for other jobs, it's above average income)
