I was rejected from Oxford: Why I'm Not Reapplying, Gaining Closure and Dealing with Rejection ✨

As you probably know, last year I applied to Oxford university for Biological Sciences. I was rejected after interviews, which kinda definitely crushed me at the time. 🤷‍♀️😂🙈 At the end of the day, more people get rejected than accepted, so I think it's important to have an open chat about dealing with rejection and gaining closure! 💛 You're more than an institution, and just because you aren't what they're looking for at that moment, it doesn't mean you can't go on to be super successful!
Some Qs answered:
Do I regret applying?
Why am I not reapplying?
How do you find the motivation to apply if you're scared of being rejected?
How did I deal with rejection and how emotionally draining it was?
How did I tell my family/friends/teachers and was I embarrassed?
Was I jealous of other people who did get in?
Hit that thumbs up if you'd like a second video exploring more of the Qs on my Instagram! 👍 xx

I have a lot of respect to people who have applied/are applying to Oxbridge, no matter whether the result is a rejection or an acceptance. I couldn't apply because i couldn't handle that academic pressure. No matter the outcome be proud of yourself, because it is a difficult process and it is worth trying if you really want it. Like Jade said, you can only learn something in the end :)

UnJaded Jade Most people get rejected first time. I got rejected from Cambridge first time. It’s a test. There is never a firm offer. Biological science is vague, if you didn’t have a plan up to PhD you are stuffed. Oxford is research based and over rated. Leeds is better for Biology, by a massive margin.

I’d also like to mention that not getting into Oxford for undergrad studies as Jade said is a huge challenge, with an acceptance rate of only 20ish%. Being rejected doesn’t mean you’re NOT good enough for Oxford, it just means the people selecting there thought you may not fit into the tutorial system as well as they’d like you to. BUT REMEMBER, it’s far easier to go to Oxford later on in life, when you’re more mature and even more knowledgeable, for a PhD, DPhil or MBA!!! These degrees are actually more value for money, as they’re research degrees, which is what Oxford is ultimately best known for!!! Keep smashing it Jade! Moral of the story: Don’t let one rejection, when you’re a 17 year old, get to you!!!

While Oxford's research and its research degrees are renowned worldwide, it's actually its undergraduate tutorial system which is what makes it so special. No other university, other than Cambridge, offer it and it's what makes an undergraduate place so coveted for the most academically capable students. And if you're a UK/EU student, it's some of the best value for money you can get due to the close attention paid to you by tutors and leaders in the academic field. There's much more independence and less contact time when you complete a postgraduate degree so it's completely wrong for you to say that you get more value for money than an undergrad degree. While I support your sentiment, it's not right to spread misinformation and lies in order to console someone. Someone who has already gained closure from the experience and is therefore better from it.

20%.......god.............any other US students just :""") the US uni system sucks, best schools have rates of ~2-3% and cost 3x as much like, this isn't to say that a lower acceptance rate means its a "better" school - the system here is just so whack that they artificially deflate their acceptance rates by outreach and trying to get as many people to apply as possible so they can reject more people, but. dang. (actually looking at Oxford for grad school, and definitely agree that undergrad school name doesn't matter as much if you know you're going to more education beyond that)

I finished my A Levels in 2015 and my dream was to go to Birmingham. I knew I wanted to take a gap year anyway, but I decided to put off applying to uni until my gap year so I could focus on getting the grades I needed. I ended up not getting them and was absolutely distraught. I still applied to Birmingham anyway, but, as expected, I was rejected, and that feeling that you described is all too real and vivid. It consumed my life for so long and it always haunted me in the worst of times. I'm now on my year abroad (I study languages) and I look back at my life and how much I have achieved and am so proud of myself for having got through that. I think rejection is a very important thing to experience, because it teaches you the life lesson that hard work does not always equal great results. Thank you for making this video, it is so much more necessary than you realise.

I really love this comment. I've never seen this channel before, but this video was recommended to me for some reason. I saw your comment and have to say - trust me: not getting into the university you wanted is a blessing in disguise! Now you are taking a year abroad, which will bring you so much growth as a person. Also, I wanted to go to Birmingham too. I had my heart completely set on it. I got rejected, and I was crushed. Then I went to see Aston University, and I actually fell in love with how real and urban/central it was. Less pretentious too. I spent the most amazing four years there, made the most beautiful friends, and had such an incredible time. So, whatever you decide to do from here, don't worry at all about not getting into your first choice of University. Honestly, 10 years from now, you'll see why it was actually exactly what was meant to happen! I just wanted to say that to you! Good luck!

Jade this is an important topic. You are so brave for sharing such personal stuff as many people refrain from talking about rejection, and focus largely on the success part of the story. Let me say, it is OK to be rejected often and early because as you mentioned you "learned a lot from the process". That's absolutely true. Rejection is harsh, but actually is also a room for growth. Good to be rejected early and often because it equips the person with lessons, sometimes without knowing it. Personally, I haven't got rejected at early stages in my academic life, but got rejected at later stage during the postgraduate. I can tell you it was harsh. At that stage I never felt that I am psychologically ready for rejection thanks to my past experience. Therefore, it took me longer than expected to accept rejection. Yet, to be honest, I am thankful for that experience because it made me a better person of me in many ways, not necessarily in academia. Best of luck, Aisha

Would love, if you could check it out, because I see so many students identifying themselves with their performance at uni. It is just so wrong and society makes us think that this is the only way we should see ourselves, beginning with parents, teachers and the job market etc. There is so much out in the world that has to be explored and performing great at school or uni is just one thing. Work hard, but do never identify yourself with it because you are such a strong worthy person that was put on the planet for a greater cause! Love, Judy :*

All my respect 💜 Jade the way you handled this experience says so much about you. You are so incredibly mature and a truly magnificent human being. I was also head girl and I understand exactly how you felt being in the spotlight. Again, all my respect, keep going!

Wow Jade, you are truly truly amazing! I feel like this video is soooooo necessary in this day in age where we believe that we always have to be successful. We tend to forget that failure is part of inevitable success. So thank you so much for sharing your story !! Keep shining girl ✨

Oxford missed out, that’s all I’m saying. Love your channel, you’re so inspiring!

I am so incredibly happy for you and that you have somehow enclosed the experience is literally amazing!! And in all honesty, I am really grateful that you put yourself out there with both of your videos and all your academic life in general. You inspire people, Jade - you make studying actually cool, you motivate us (or me, personally) and make us believe that we are capable and worthy of making it out there. Unfortunately enough, I can't apply to Oxbridge as I'm from a different country and haven't studied the subjects required for Biological Sciences just because it isn't even really possible here. But I sincerely hope that if I did apply and if I did get rejected, I would handle it in the same mature and sensible way that you did. It's okay to not be okay 💕

Jade, BLESS YOU for videos like this. I'm currently waiting for a response from Oxford, and as you may know, the anxiety and fear of disappointing those that expect me to get in, is building in. I am SO impatient to get that email on the 9th of January to just release the stress and tension, and at the same time I never want to receive it, because as long as I don't know, I can still expect to maybe get in. But this has helped me a lot to realise that, whatever the outcome, just having reached the interview stage is already a pretty big achievement (esp since I'm an International student) and there really is no reason to be ashamed of a negative result. Please, make another video like this, the Internet world needs more of your honesty, kindness and spontaneity!

This is wonderful, it won’t just help people re Oxbridge, but people generally - it’s applicable to job interviews too. Good for you :)

I just got rejected and feeling really down abt it so thankyou so much for sharing this xxx

I am so sorry for you honey! But trust me, in 5 years, on whichever lifepath you are, you will be so happy that it turned out the way it did! I also got rejected from my dream university and uni was sometimes quite hard and I am sharing my experiences on my KZfaq channel! Would love, if you could check it out, because I see so many students identifying themselves with their performance at uni. It is just so wrong and society makes us think that this is the only way we should see ourselves, beginning with parents, teachers and the job market etc. There is so much out in the world that has to be explored and performing great at school or uni is just one thing. Work hard, but do never identify yourself with it because you are such a strong worthy person that was put on the planet for a greater cause! Love, Judy :*

You're an inspiration to everyone When I watched your rejection video I honestly felt your pain and I didn't feel like sympathetic in a way I just understood you You are a role model to a lot of people myself included and the fact that you are so honest and truthful just reminds me of the beauty we still have in this world I just truly want to say thank you for your revision videos and life updates and for you just being you.

Thank you so much for this video, even though I’m from the states and applied to a state college, when I got rejected I felt so embarrassed and worthless about it. I had no idea what direction to turn in terms of the following months and I strongly considered lying to the people around me, that knew I had applied, about being rejected and instead saying I just decided not to go. Watching you and the way you have accepted the rejection with grace makes me reflect on myself and realize that I should be open about my rejection too. Thank you ❤️
