Think im going to be rejected from uni and don't know what to do about it

I know for a fact that I've probably already been rejected, that I've failed my exams, and I don't know what to do about it. I've already got everything sorted, including my job position in the city, and if I don't get into that city my current job that are transferring me will have no choice but to fire me as they will be hiring someone else. My life quite literally depends on getting into this uni because of how little jobs are avaliable in my area at the moment, plus struggling with extreme anxiety that hinders application and I don't know what to do if I get rejected.

If you know for a fact that you'll have failed, talk to your employer and explain that you won't be able to transfer. The sooner you say anything, the better chance you have of keeping your job. There's always resits and you can apply again for 2025 start if you want to.

Alternatively, you could consider moving anyway. It would be cheaper to move with roommates, if possible. That way, if you do get in, you're nearby regardless.

Is travel not an option for your transfer?

You use "probably" here, which is a problem. You can't make significant life decisions based on "probably".

You need to sit and wait until you have confirmation of the actual situation and not base your decisions on what may well be an emotive response to perceived performance in an exam or assessment. Until you get an official confirmation you should not assume either way and consider plans for both if you succeed in your exams and if you don't.

You may also wish to speak with your GP about the extent to which these concerns and anxieties are affecting your day to day life.
