Has anyone been rejected yet?

Don't Worry I only finished personal statement first draft today. if your behind then god knows where I am

Mine hasn't either... whats your excuse? I'm getting really worried with mine ATM

I've been getting really stressed about the whole thing and then having anxiety attacks due to not knowing what I'm doing with my life, y'know the usual

But yeah I'm just taking so long to do everything because I waste time stressing but there ya go haha

As you can tell by my post above, I'm at panic attack level too, but I'm avoiding it by avoiding it, procrastination is my thing and it's why I'm in this situation in the first place.


Aw hun I'm sure it will be fine, what are you THINKING of doing, like what appeals to you? You're best off applying for something that fits both what you're good at, and what you enjoy doing. That's the way I've done it anyway, it's a compromise.

Yeah I'm procrastinating right now by being on this site haha. The nurse sent me home from school last week because I'd worked myself up and was panicking so much.

I'm also applying for English (literature) but I keep doubting that decision coz I'm constantly being asked what I'm gonna do with a lit degree and it's just like ahhhhh I dunno stop asking!

My friend has received 3 rejections in 2 weeks because she still hasn't passed her Maths GCSE :/ oops

Oh shoot! My friend hasn't passed her Math GCSE yet and she's in College for 4 years now. I guess her chances are very low because on top of that, she has a low target grade.

Yes, my daughter just now got rejected from KCL on the grounds that she "would not meet the grade requirements" for PPE, which are A* / A / A - and which are, or so were told, her predicted grades. She was definitely told by her teachers & form tutor that it would be A* / A / A but checking on her school record form, it says B.

Obviously, if B were the intended estimated grade she would not have applied to KCL or UCL or Bristol, so that is 3 choices wasted. If the B is a mistake - we think it is, since the HoD had assured us it would be an A - then we need to correct it, but no one is around at her school until the 3rd. The damage is done with KCL, I suppose.

what were her As grades

Our school only gets one draft, so basically as soon as I finish it it's going to be sent off - I don't have time to ask teachers to go over it etc as they are all busy marking coursework, and my form tutor couldn't care less.

I haven't even finished writing mine, I've only just finished my first paragraph! I decided earlier in the year that I wanted to do Classical Studies and English Literature, but now I've decided against that and want to do just pure English Lit, so I ahve to change my entire personal statement.

Also, my teachers have messed me around on what I'm going to be predicted for A2 and it's all very stressful.

I underachieved in AS, getting BCCCD because I didn't revise at all, lack of motivation I guess. I was supposed to be predicted ABB, after talking to my teachers, but I just contacted them, and I apparently 'can't' be predicted an A in english, and so they're sticking with a B, and history and law are both reluctant to predict me higher as well. They told me this today.

SO V STRESSED as all the universities I have looked at want BBB/ABB, and I'll be applying with BBB/BBC/BCC - I DONT EVEN KNOW.

So yeah, I need to talk to my teachers again tomorrow before I can submit it.
And I need to write it.
And do history coursework.
And a history essay.
And a law essay.

It's all going downhill basically.
And I'm procrastinating on TSR and Tumblr

So I'm sure you're probably better off than me, GOOD LUCK!

Edit: can you tell why I'm looking at rejection threads
