What are your thoughts on this? It's just interesting to see the kind of things people say without any basis, like "i'll be happier elsewhere" "workload is too much anyways" "better social life at other uni" etc. and use that to justify going to Leeds or w/e rather than say reapplying and going for what they truly wanted. Obviously it partially comes from a place of sadness at the time of finding out the news, but once the red mist settles I wonder why so many opt to go to "second best".
Personally I have a little more empathy for those interviewees who question why they were rejected, what they can do to improve, and ultimately strive to get the best grades they can in order to put in a stronger application next time around, but that's just me.
(I'm an offer holder so I don't have to go through it fortunately)
