yes! i have a friend from macedonia who applied 2 years ago. he applied for linguistics and he had been writing a book to teach macedonian. the book itself didn't look completely professional, but trust me, the contents did. i thought he would have been one of the most deserving people in the world. i admire him a lot. but he got rejected. he's very happy where he is now though, and it's probably for the best, because uk universities for international students is brutal in its fees, and for other private reasons too :)

Rejection can feel embarrassing, but to everyone who experiences an academic rejection... know that you don't need to feel embarrassed. It is a normal and common experience in academia. Rejection doesn't feel good, but know that if you become a post-grad/grad student... you'll navigate academic rejection quite regularly. Grant applications, conference applications, job applications. Same is true if you pursue work after your undergraduate program. The first few times rejection happens, it is really hard. I find it gets easier to navigate as you encounter this more and more. You also realize that everyone else is navigating this as well. It happens to everyone- even the smartest scholars I know! Keep up your good work in the meantime! Sometimes feedback you receive during rejections helps you towards your success.

I got rejected from my top 2 college choices. Now, 12 years after college graduation, in a career completely different from my degree, it doesn't even matter. COLLEGE itself doesn't even matter after a certain amount of time (just the friends you make). It's silly when I think back on it, the pressure we put ourselves under as kids to be perfect so we "get in."

It doesn't matter for them how good you are, or how this rejection might affect you mentally, yet you accuse yourself of not being good enough for them to get chosen (not you I mean everyone who feels rejected) This system is garbage.

Can confirm she wasn’t naturally intelligent, just wasn’t allowed hobbies or friends and was made to work

I was in the same position as you. I was rejected by my dream school the first time around and it hurt a lot because not only was it one of the top two schools in my country but I knew a lot of people who had gotten in (I went to a very competitive Catholic all-girls school). I ended up in a so-so university for my first year and was incredibly motivated to re-apply. I was lucky enough to have been given a chance to transfer to my dream school and I've been really happy and content. That extra year of being in a different city and studying a course I was a 100% not passionate about made me realize how badly I NEEDED to transfer to another school and how much I loved my dream school. This past year has been an incredible whirlwind and I have been given so many opportunities. So, to anyone who is dealing with rejection, I hope you channel your energy whether its re-applying or doing well at your current university. The universe is funny and sometimes we don't see the clear path that is set out for us. :)

Hi Sana, Ruby is talking about the rejection because she wants to educate and encourage other people in the same situation. I personally have benefited greatly from her sharing this experience. Also, attacking her for her motivation and hard work seems quite mean-spirited. Being a hardworking and motivated person doesn't mean that you are not a well-rounded person. Ruby has stated that she believes she was rejected because the first interview didn't go well, and there is no reason to try to make up other reasons for her rejection.
