Hi there,
Ugh. So I waited two months and got the dreaded email from my first choice uni saying unsuccessful!!
I’m not surprised really, my grades are passes but not the best and I’m in quite a strange position as I couldn’t put down my actual qualification on ucas so it looks worse then it is!
Sussex rejected me with no feedback! Or no offer for a foundation year, normally I wouldn’t be that bothered however I’ve already been rejected and referred to a completely different course at Brighton which by the looks of the way things are going i’ll Also get a rejection from there!
It would be more okay if I didn’t want to be in only Brighton, I have a place to live there in September already and the courses i applied for is perfect for me. It just sucks because although my previous grades aren’t the best (I haven’t been accessible to the most relevant courses) I know i’m good at filmmaking and in the most non-high ego way know that I deserve a chance on the course, I never work as hard on anything apart from my films and even with the worst equipment I do my best and wouldn’t say I’m the worst.
I’m just overall gutted, I have a house planned, boyfriend there and my dreams and if I can’t contact them for feedback, negotiation or I can’t apply for the foundation year i’ll be stuck taking a gap year and being two years behind everyone I’m living with (they’re all on foundation years now going into first year) and i’ll have to work full time to pay for living with them(which is already paid for) :-(
Tbh i’m Just feeling a little sorry for myself and worried about it. I don’t want to be stuck doing a course I’m not 100% about and that’ll be the case out of desperation if Sussex completely fails. Plus I don’t know how to deal with telling my boyfriend who is already there and is even considering changing into a different course and a different uni (it just feels a bit pushed down when you’re with someone who’s smart enough to have a choice and you’re stuck doing something you’re hearts not completely set on) and I know he won’t be that bothered but it’s just lowkey embarrassing to have the rejection there.
