Heya,
An empathetic message- i have 12 A* at GCSE, straight As at AS and am predicted eight As at A level- and i just got rejected. I thought i had plenty of extra curricular too, so am a bit disappointed (sorry that sounds arrogant). I have applied for PPE elsewhere (have an offer from Mancs and applied to Ox) as well as pol and econ at some (LSE and Edinburgh). I have applied for feedback, and i don't think there is anything like glaringly wrong in my PS, (otherwise surely wouldn't have been offered place elsewhere). Only thing i can think is that it is my personal statement is written VERY much for a PPE...i thought this would be OK as UCL advertises ESPS as being like a PPE with learning another langauge.
A bit worried others will follow suit now...also, UCL was my 3rd preference, so i will end up at fourth if no offer from LSE and Ox...which if UCL don't want me seems probable!
