I'm so done with everything.... rejections on rejections im sick and tired....

My mental health is so down the drain....
Just got rejected from King's. They just messaged me.
I'm so done I cba. it feels like my gap year has been a waste....

I retook 2 of my A-levels so I initally got BCC the CC in maths and econ and my current predicted are A*AB.

I need A*AA for my course which is accounting and finance.
those requirements were all from Warwick, KCL,


I had so many extenuating circumstances such as being a young carer during March of exam season (full time), and having a major surgery.

I provided them extra info like proof but they came back say was my academic qualifications were not apt and even with extra consideration they wouldn't give me a place.


the fact that I had an extremely strong personal statement sucks a hell of a lot.

I only have 1 offer and that from bath.
Freaking QMUL rejected me only on the basis of my grades they even gave my cousin who had the *****est of *****est personal statement whie she was off my 2 grades an offer....
everywhere I've applied I've only got rejections from.

I even got a rejection from deutsche bank for my degree apprentiship which I may add I did not even get told I failed.. just said application closed wtf does that mean....

I don't even want to revise for my alevels anymore...
I acc cba.
what do i even do.....

It does suck, I understand. But sometimes you have to make the best of what life gives you. Try to make the offer for Bath. And even if u don't make the offer, there is still leeway, as I'm sure there will be good universities for your subject in clearing. Good luck.

yeah, I just hope you get where I'm coming from since I took a gap year specifically for just applying for uni and its all just gone down to shambles..

Bath is far better than KIngs - it's placement scheme is amazing. Focus on your resits - you can do this!

Don't stay at home if that is how they are treating you ...
I understand being disappointed in only 1 out of 5 offers, but Bath is a really good uni and if you don't meet your offer there will probably be something in clearing, even if it's a slightly different course title. Lots of people with all A star predictions aren't getting offers, so I don't think it is anything to take personally. Also you can always find a way, like foundation, or go later as a mature student.

They're treating me well... I just hated this gap year because I had to work from home and I'm not allowed to move out so it was just frustrating... I just hate disappointing them...

Your dad is probably just frustrated for you but is not communicating that in a very helpful way.Bath is a great uni and you have done well to retake your A levels it is not easy.You have applied for high status unis and there are only so many places.In reality all lots of unis care about are grades,many barely look at personal statements,awful but true.Only a few more weeks to go and A levels will be over so don't give up now.Short term pain long time gain.There may be places in clearing that might appeal but presumably you put Bath down for a reason.Do not take your rejections personally,lots of 3A star students are in same boat.It sounds like last year was horrible for you so gap year was the right decision and anyway it is done now so just push on and do your best.
Hopefully you can then relax over the summer.
