Remember, unlike Cambridge that interviews on average 70% of applicants, Oxford only interview around 30% so it's highly competitive just to get the interview and plenty will be in the same boat. But the biggest reason someone doesn't get into Oxford is not applying in the first place. To be in a position to give it a shot means you are no doubt highly capable and have worked hard. Good luck with your remaining applications.

It is actually everything else than embarrassing! You can be so proud of yourself to have put all the hard work into applying to Oxford in the first place (which IS so much work and dedication already). Totally understandable that you are sad or feel bad about it though. I hope you get into another university which you will love! 💛

I didn't realise they would send rejection emails so soon!
But ig now that you know you can concentrate on your A Levels instead of worrying about Oxford. You will defo get other offers considering you applied to Oxford.
I am currently waiting for an interview offer from Oxford but I'll probably get rejected

Hi i see that you have gotten your offer from kings. May I ask what were your stats and what course did you apply for and are you an international student. It is just that I have applied for law and kings and have not received an offer yet and I'm feeling very anxious about it. Thanks

Heyy! I applied for Biomedical Science at King’s and I’m a home student I just go to school here, so not international.
I sent my application off on the 14th of October, no entrance exams or anything, and my predicted grades were A*AA.

Try not to stress though, King’s is sooo slow with Law offers every single year, you’re honestly not late at all. 🙂
