UNIVERSITY DECISIONS REACTIONS uk 2023 *live reactions*; Oxford, UCL, Bath, Kings and Southampton!

[@gabbya1170]

Congratulations! Your relationship with your sisters is so precious! And coming from a younger sister who dealt with an older sibling moving away for uni, it has honestly been fine! We are closer than ever, and you end up being home a lot more than you imagine! Wish you all the best x

[@Jeta_]

Aww thank you, that’s really nice to hear from the perspective of a younger sibling! x

[@rids.rambles]

Hey Jeta! I just want to tell you how much your raw reactions to the university decisions touched me. Also, I know moving out and leaving everything behind is tough. But this change will be worthwhile, and I wish you all the best. You’ve got this! You have shown remarkable resilience and determination by securing a place at the University of Bath. It’s a fantastic institution, and I truly believe that great things await you there.

[@Jeta_]

Aww thank you so so much for your kind message, it really touched me! And I completely agree with you, moving out will be hard but incredibly rewarding at the same time too. I wish you all the very best too x

[@saz9882]

Bath is way better than UCL in terms of lifestyle & being a student. You’ll have a proper concentrated student community in an utterly fabulous place, rather than rattling around in a massive city where students live commutable all over London & it’s more of a dispersed student experience. Both are fabulous universities & both will give you unlimited possibilities for your future. Well done & good luck!!

[@Lisa_838]

Depends on ur preference between busy lifestyle and the country cuz I personally prefer bustling cities over the country

[@Symplastmail]

Don’t listen to this Jeta. Bath is an incredibly boring place where most go to Bristol for any fun. All my friends are happy there but regret it and can’t wait to leave. The campus is on a huge hill and the nightlife is incredibly poor. Bath is a great uni. The city itself isn’t great for students at all

Bath also ranks higher than UCL, in ‘the complete university guide’, and ‘the Guardian university guide’. And the complete university guide is the most accurate source according to experts.

[@rosiehughes157]

I was so worried about moving out last year and leaving my little sister, however you can always come back as much as you like. But honestly moving out was the best thing that’s ever happened to me, you grow so much and become your own person and it allows you to become independent. I think moving away is essential for the full uni experience, you will have the best time. Everything happens for a reason.

[@Jeta_]

Thank you for sharing this, it really helps to know that others are/have been in the same boat as me. And yes I totally agree that moving out will allow me to grow in ways I wouldn’t if I stayed at home!

[@rainyzack8134]

What was the reason you did this if you don’t mind asking?

[@fitzcap04]

I can imagine how difficult it must've been to have been rejected from universities but try to see it as "rejection is redirection". I too was rejected from universties like Oxford but I am sm happier with my firm choice which is Bath too! I hope ur A-Levels went well and hopefully I'll get to meet u in Bath too :)

[@Jeta_]

Ahh well done for getting into Bath too and yes maybe I’ll see you there!

[@GamerGirll36]

Ahhh Jeta!! Firstly, rejections are so hard - it was sad to watch you upset, and I’m sorry about the Oxford, KCL and UCL ones, it can feel really disheartening. 😢However, it’s so admirable how you dealt with it, you were so graceful and were able to see positives which is so inspiring. 💜But also, it’s so incredibly brave to share a video like this where you show your true feelings and the results, no matter whether they’re positive or negative! I watched this with a friend actually and she was so amazed at how well you took it :)) I can’t even imagine how nervous you must have felt so you should be proud x Secondly, A MASSIVE CONGRATSSS! I genuinely got so excited for you when you got into Bath and I remember you saying last year how you loved the idea of going there so I’m so happy for you that you got a place, you really deserve it. Moving away from home is so scary, but I’m hopeful you’ll have an amazing time there. Cannot believe this is going to be me in a few months too! 😅 Hope you’re having a lovely summer off so far, sorry for the very long message! xx

[@Jeta_]

Aww this is so so nice of you to say! The more time that has past since all those rejections, the less emotional reaction I have towards them, I genuinely am so excited for Bath that I am almost glad that the other uni's rejections guided me to go there! But yes I was SO nervous before each decision, my whole body was literally shaking in those clips but it's hard to tell. But THANK YOU and YES I feel like it will be such a great experience to move out. I hope you have an amazing last few weeks of year 12 too and hope all your mock results are what you want and deserve x Ahhh honestly it's really sad to leave the school because I have been there for so long and I will definitely miss the security of it but I suppose change is good even if its hard. Gosh this is so random but I just realised idk if I will see you at school tomorrow (if you are helping out at strawberries and cream/garden party thing)? Anyway it is so weird that tomorrow will be my last day at school ever!! crazy!

[@GamerGirll36]

Yess exactly I think time definitely helps to let everything sink in and get put into perspective, and as cliche as it sounds everything happens for a reason!! And yesss so exciting :) Omggg I can imagine, I would be SHAKKINGG so much! 😅😅 You’re so welcome, and thank you so so much

[@zach_taylor20]

Immensely brave to put out this video and I know how many people this will touch and help. I have been through some very tough times with uni rejections but I started this year at the uni of Bath and I am loving it. Life’s about making the most of every opportunity, not the falls on the way.

[@Mia-sb1bb]

This is such a beautiful and raw video. There are far too many videos on the internet of people getting in everywhere and they make me feel awful. I got rejected from St Andrews (my dream school) and I really let it determine my worth. Bath is an AMAZING university, I hope you will have a great time xx

[@Jeta_]

Aw thank you, yes that’s why I wanted to share it because I too have seen far too many videos with everything going perfectly well with uni applications when the reality is that the best case scenario rarely happens. I am sorry you got rejected from your dream Uni, it can be really hard to process but I wish you all the best for the future x

[@rosiesmedley7993]

Jeta, that takes soo much strength to share your complete raw reactions online. Moving out is really tough but you will meet sooo many people and will get the full experience of university. You have got this!

Jeta, congratulations on your offer from Bath! I have also just finished year 13 and I totally relate to the unsettled feeling the university decision process and the general life changes at this stage can produce. Just try to remember that wherever you go you will settle in and adjust, everything happens for a reason and moving away from home may be just the thing you need even if it feels stressful now ❤❤❤

Thank you! And yes definitely, I think moving out will be very good for me in many different ways despite it being difficult.

[@Jeta_]

I wish you all the best with your plans and hope you get to where you want to be!! Thank you about the video, yes exactly as you said, rejection is always a possibility with anything we try and so I wanted to just show that it isn’t something to be ashamed of at all! And yes hopefully I get the grades as I’m so excited to go to Bath!!!

Hiya, I'm in year 12 and I'm applying to study psychology at uni as well. Bath is like the dream uni for me and I was wondering if you had any tips personal statement wise that you think could be useful to help me get in as well? Also, are you doing the placement year? Congrats on getting into Bath that's such an achievement! I hope you have the best time there xx

[@Jeta_]

Thank you! And good luck with applying, I wish you all the very best! No I am not doing a placement year, I decided to just do the three year degree. Regarding personal statement tips I would say try to be as concise as possible so that you can say as much as possible and make sure to lead with what you have done/read to show your passion for the subject rather than simply stating it. Out of interest though would you want to see a personal statement tips video where I can go into more detail about my advice??

hey Jeta, as a younger sister, let me share something, i am at uni myself currently, and my sister is pursing her masters. While i enjoy our time as we apperciate it more as both of us being busy, it allowed me to learn the fact, my sister is her own indivual person who had to grow up to be her own person, and when we spent time together we have more to discuss about our lives, while your sisters are gonna miss you badly, they will get inspiration from you to chase after what they want.

just finished my first year at bath studying psych, would be more than happy to tell you more about the course, accommodation, and uni life at bath (i’m an international student) if you have any questions!

[@Jeta_]

Ah that’s so kind of you to offer! Mm I suppose I would like to ask which module was your favourite in first year? Also a quick specific question about how much joining a sports society (like any self defence sport society) costs?? If you know :)) I hope you are enjoying your time there though!

[@alisafridman7262]

@@Jeta_ of the mandatory classes i would definitely say mind & behavior was the most interesting course, it was like an extension of IB biology and psychology together and the delivery was very engaging. for optional electives, i took organizational behavior (school of business), and psychology of well-being, and both would be my favorite modules i took this year because of the real-world applications they provided. OB broke down how business and teams are built and work while PoWB allowed me to reflect on my own mental and emotional health and explained a variety of aspects that contribute to one’s wellbeing thoroughly. Regarding sport societies, club memberships usually cost around £10 for the year, in addition to £30 for the SU Sport Membership. If you plan on joining any other competitive teams you’ll only need to pay their club membership, and if competitions at BUCS level, the BUCS fee (which i think is around £70, but don’t quote me on that). If you have any more question please don’t hesitate to reach out on Instagram, my account is alisaxfridman :)

Dear Miss @@Jeta_, I'm about to watch and am SO JEALOUS already, wondering if you got in to UOL. That's where I want to go, but it has to wait until Master's because I'm international & have an 8 y/o. I did not learn international students cannot study undergrad in UK with a minor child until I was THISCLOSE to receiving an offer and was absolutely gutted. ANYWAY, thank you for sharing your journey!! It's similar to witnessing/experiencing a child grow up. Whilst I'm selfishly grateful you selflessly offered GCSE and general education free content thus far since I have £0/0p, I truly believe you should create a subscription option. I'm chuffed to bits for you! Yours sincerely, Tiffany Stevenson Dallas, TX

[@Troublebreathing]

Bath has a really good psychology department well done! Im hoping to be going to bath this october if I hit my offer for Politics & International Relations its such a nice uni. Also the EPQ dropping the offer by one is really nice because now I only need AAB instead of AAA which is a huge difference I’ve been predicted an A* for mine so it gives some form of safety from external moderation it was such a worthwhile project now.

[@Jeta_]

Yes it really is thank you. And well done on your offer too!! But yes the EPQ can be so so helpful for things like this!

Hey Jeta, I'm very late to this but just wanted to say again how again proud I am of you and I'm soooo excited for you. I know it's going to be hard leaving home but at the same time, you'll be so much more independent and learn to be reliant on yourself. If it's any consolation, I probably would have liked to move out if it were not for my circumstances; bath was actually one of my dream uni's! However I am very content with where I ended up and the way my life turned out because of it, so I am confident that this fate will also be your destiny!

Hey Jeta, congratulations on your offer from Bath and I wish you all the best for the future. I'm currently a Psychology student at Cardiff and I moved pretty far as I live in Essex. I'm not going to lie because I had a rough start to uni in 2021 because we didn't have face-to-face lectures and about 6 of my 11 housemates weren't very accommodating so I was in a pretty low state for the majority of the first term. However, the uni was very understanding when I voiced my concerns, and helped me move into a different accommodation really easily (I just wish that I had spoken up sooner but what's done is done). I just wanted to let you know that if Bath (or any other uni) is anything like Cardiff, they will be there for you if you voice your worries, just don't be too shy. Having just completed my 2nd year and joined another society, I had such an enjoyable experience both in my academics and socially. I wanted to comment on your post because I had worries about moving away, and as an older sister to a brother who is most likely going to Bath this year, I'm nervous about him moving away too. But I am pretty certain you will find people you will click with and my one piece of advice is to just try to have fun because I overthought everything and in reality, it didn't really matter. xx

[@chloeminteh1925]

what were your predicted grades? just looking at where i want to apply for my psychology and wanna know what i need xx

[@Jeta_]

Mine were A*AA and I took the subjects Psychology, English Literature and History - just to hear in mind I think a big part of my rejections were not because of my grades but the subjects I took e.g I probably should have taken another science subject or maths as some unis prefer this to essay subjects (but not the case with Bath for example)

[@GamerGirll36]

That feeling of handling rejection so much does make it feel all "ok" in the end. But I would recommend trying out interships etc. until you find that one person who vibes with your career goals, and give you the appreciation for the best work you give. I met my boss who encouraged me and said I had a great future ahead, even when I didn't feel like that. But hey ... someone at UCL identified with my career plans, and talents and gave me an offer (for my post-grad)!

Firstly, I love you outfits. Secondly, I will be going to Leeds Beckett to study Performing Arts. I originally had my heart set on York, but I was rejected after an interview. I had already been accepted to Hull before then, but I felt their course was too focused on theatre and the acting aspect rather than additional directing and writing skills. However, I've been rethinking my decision a lot, as, now that I think about it, Hull's course does have a lot of what I wanted, such as costume and set design, whereas Leeds Beckett is quite performance-based. I chose Leeds Beckett because, out of the two, it had a module dedicated to screen acting. The area also just felt right and magical. I'm seriously hoping I've made the right choice.

Hey, I can really understand how you feel about moving away from your family because I have been in the same place almost a year ago. I really didn't want to leave home at all and was super sad that the uni nearby didn't offer the major / subject I wanted to do anymore ( a year before they still had it but when it was time for me to apply they suddenly didn't have it anymore). I had to apply to other unis further away and did so to some that were further and one that was closer (45 minutes from home on highway). Obviously the one closer was one where I had to get accepted and I was so happy when the letter came that I did get accepted but then suddenly everything went so fast. I quickly found a flat to stay near uni and planned to move in over the course of a few weeks but then it suddenly was only within a few days because a big construction side that was going to start right infront of the building so there would be no car access... Suddenly I was all alone in my own small appartment, with train an hour and half (stupid waiting times) away from home and had to take care of everything my own. It was really overwhelming and I was homesick in the first few weeks but then when uni started it was all so busy that I didn't really think of it anymore and I was concent with visiting my family every weekend or every other weekend when I needed more time to work on weekly assignments or when something was planned with people here. After a quarter of the semester I started to only visit my parents once a month most of the time and obviously through the vacations because I got a boyfriend and we were doing things together, visiting his parents, etc. Looking back at it I think I have really grown in the past year and it helped a lot move out from home. Suddenly you were able to eat whenever you got hungry, but you also had to make your own food, but that made it possible to decide what you wanted to eat. There are so many ups and downs but in the end I think there are more ups. It really helped me grow, manage my own time and also made me appreciate my time with my family even more because it got rarer. I think it is a really good way for the time between school where you fully live with your parents and work where you likely will live alone as well and are completely thrown into life. When you're in Uni you can usually gather enough spare time in the weekend to visit your family often enough to stay connected to them but you will also get eased into life because in uni so much stuff happens and you do so much with other people that you don't think a lot about being alone, because most of the time you aren't. Sorry for this really long comment but I thought it might help you a bit to hear of other perspectives from people that were in the same situation as you are now ^^ And one last thing: I think being unsure about living on your own and not wanting it is normal, and in my opinion should be the case because that shows that you have a loving family around you. But that also says that they will support you, will help you to get through this time in the beginning where it is harder to be away most of the time and then the time where you start liking living on your own starts and you will still look forward to see your family and will still be a bit sad to leave them but when you are in your own appartment, dorm or whatever again, you can call it your second home and you will start to feel being at home again. Never the true at home, but another kind of at home that puts you at ease as well. I hope this helps and now I'll actually end this comment, sorry!! xD

Thank you so much for taking the time and care to share your own experience. I completely agree with you and I know that as time goes on I will definitely enjoy the independence that living alone has. I am honestly very excited to move out now (but obviously it is still a big change and my initial reaction was one of panic which just took a bit of time to process). Wishing you all the best for the future x

[@mollysmith3281]

Loved this video! I am applying to Bath (top choice) and Southampton this year for psychology, I would love if you could make a video on your application and what you think helped you (personal statement is stressing me out!!) Congrats x

[@Jeta_]

Ahh good luck with your application! And yes I will definitely make something like that as soon as possible as quite a few people have requested it too x

[@rajshreepurohit988]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@Jeta_]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@raunaq9078]

Yoo congrats on bath I’m also going there september this year hope to see you there!

[@Jeta_]

Well done too!! and yep maybe i'll see you there :)

[@qianyihe6188]

i understand how sad will be if you get rejected . I was waitlisted by my dream school( eventually I get in in late May) I was even hurt just by waitlisted and get depression. However the first school offered me the place is university of ottawa at the time I didn’t have a 12th grade grade and none of uni showed up for me but they did . I am now fourth year and almost graduating from school. I can tell you this is the décision that I never ever will regret. You know sometime just believe in fate . Maybe you are meaning to be into one university not other . Just relax lol congratulation though

[@sylvieborez5615]

Hey love your videos, just wondered what grades you applied with to these universities (GCSE’s and predicted a-levels) thank you x

[@paulec2634]

Hi Jeta, I got rejected by UCL as well, for English Lit, and it hurt. But equally when I went for the interview, I didn't find the college at all welcoming in its general atmosphere, plus the lecturers who interviewed me were not particularly nice, and made me feel like a very stupid person by focusing on what I didn't know, rather than discussing anything I did know. I was relieved to get out of the place, I'm sure I wouldn't have wanted to go there, and yet the rejection really stung. I also had to leave London in the end for Uni, but actually for different (family) reasons. Anyway I know how you feel, and I hope you feel a little better about it now. By the way, Bath's *conditional* offer is really harsh, well for me, I 'd be very intimidated by that. But you seem confident that you will get those grades and I feel like you will get them. In my case, when August came around, I did *not* get the grades I needed to get in anywhere I wanted to go. I took a year out and stayed in London while one of my A levels was remarked. I knew deep down that I'd done a bad job on my English A level, but either way I was going to fight for a higher grade and I got it. Then I was able to reapply to Unis for the following year. Please know that whatever happens there are options such as taking that year out, and especially as you're close to your sisters I'm sure they'd love that.

[@dalma.peller]

I really want to go to Southampton!! To study geography.. the opening day was amazing

[@pratyasha279]

Also, anyone can really reply to this - is doing an EPQ worth it?? I just finished GCSEs and i'm aiming for Oxbridge..

[@bubbybubbybubbyy]

Absolutely! If you get a good epq grade, your likelihood of reduced offers skyrockets.

[@pratyasha279]

@@bubbybubbybubbyy did you do an EPQ yourself?

[@bubbybubbybubbyy]

@@pratyasha279 I did! I got 5 uni offers, and from my epq prediction I received reduced offers from all :) I didn’t do dissertation either, I just did an artefact!

[@Jeta_]

I actually have a whole video on whether the EPQ is worth doing so you can watch that if you want as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roXPY6qsndZ2eK8 :)

[@bexter107]

Ngl I didn’t realise so many uk unis gave out rejections. Idk I had crap a level results and got conditional offers but then I didn’t apply to any of the high up unis

[@YamiVerma-mw5mt]

Hey! Can I know why Kings was your last choice??

[@edwardhudson815]

what reason did kings give for rejecting you?

[@lucybates7158]

i had such a hard decision choosing between ucl and bath. I firmed bath

[@hajratalib2125]

How long did it take to do all the applications for each uni and cram them all in before the date?

[@politicsinpink]

Hey so sorry to hear about UCL! If It makes it any better at UCL our courses are literally tinnyyy like on mine there's like max 100 people but so many applicants all over the world, so it's basically a complete bloodbath. Even applicants who are super talented like u get overlooked just because of this. Please don't be demoralised as bath is an incredible uni and I'm sure you're going to absolutely love it there

[@maariyahbadr]

Omg well done on getting into bath !

[@Jeta_]

Thank you!

[@richardgale4827]

To my mind, moving away from your home town is part of the going-to-uni deal. Bath is a fabulous destination: Psy-high, ranked higher than almost all of the Russells, heritage city that isn’t overwhelming, just 20 mins from bigger Bristol on public transport AND still just two hours from London by train. What’s not to like? Congratulations! And thanks for sharing.

[@Helios601]

MODERN EDUCATION IS CREATING PEOPLE SMART ENOUGH TO REPEAT WHAT THEY’VE BEEN TOLD & FOLLOW ORDERS AND DUMB ENOUGH TO THINK THIS MAKES THEM SMARTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE

You are sooo brave to show your reactions of rejections on Camera !! ✨

Hello! I have a (some) question(s): If I am an international student and I want to apply to Cambridge, would I have to wait a year after finishing my studies to apply? Entering Cambridge is my dream but I don't have much knowledge of how to enter, how did you do it?

[@Svetiko]

Had the same question a year ago. Now, I’m a proud UCL and Warwick offer holder and a Cambridge bitter reject ahah). You should apply during your last year of education, this way if they do send you an offer, it will be a conditional one and you’ll be able to provide the proof of the end of your education when you actually receive it. The best of luck!

[@aran9601]

I'm so proud of you, well dome

[@Jeta_]

Thank you!!

[@sneakerhead6625]

well done! my friend Temi is also going to bath for psych & she keeps hyping it up lol

[@TheNightSearcher99]

I would 100% speak to both unis as soon as possible to discuss support and facilitates of possible …. Congratulations!

[@ShubhamSingh-ud1mw]

I have got 3 options for ms in computer science: ucl, university of edinburgh, university of manchester.please rank them according to tech study so that i can have better idea

[@KtT-sn8cy]

None for an international student, all too expensive

[@penbot6806]

Bath is also my firm, I guess I'll see you there if things go to plan ":) It's a really beautiful place, and the only city in the UK to be an entire world heritage site

[@Jeta_]

Congrats too! and yes hopefully everything goes to plan for us on results day!

[@ChronicallyBreathlessMUA]

[@Jeta_]

Ah I am so glad you really enjoyed your time there! I am so excited to hopefully join!!

[@aimeetimms3388]

I also applied to Bath and Southampton for psychology! And i have firmed Bath! Congratulations on your offer!

[@Jeta_]

Congratulations to you too!!

[@eric-mc2px]

Hii and congratulations omg Bath is such a huge achievement!! By any chance could you tell me what exactly the reason King’s gave for a rejection bc i plan on applying next year for economics and honestly your strong academic report makes me feel so anxious 😭

[@Jeta_]

Thank you! So I am pretty sure the reason Kings and UCL rejected me had nothing to do with my grades and everything to do with the A levels I took. They both say on the requirements page that for a psychology degree they PREFER if you take 2 science subjects for a levels (although they only REQUIRE 1 science as the minimum) and I took Psychology, English and History - so only 1 science subject. I couldn’t change my subjects at this point so I took the risk and applied anyway. Please don’t let my rejections put you off though, just apply! Wishing you all the best for the application and hope the outcome is what you want!!

[@carlybishop6160]

Congratulations! I know it is going to be a big change and a challenge but I am certain you will love it and you will only be there about 7 months a year and will be home plenty of time. Plus, your sisters can visit you and escape from home for a while.

[@Jeta_]

Thank youuu! And yes definitely, it’s not the whole year and I will be able to visit home loads!

[@jeremykwan2628]

Thanks for sharing! I was having the same stressful journey. I was so stressed waiting for the decisions to come. My last uni decision (also my top choice) came out on 13th May and one day later I realised it was for 2024 entry because they don't have space. Dealt with them for another month and the offer got updated for 2023 entry on 10th June. In fact the whole process was stretched through my public exams and I was panicking and distracted from studying because of this. But at least now I got my top choice and im going there :) really hoped they pushed the deadlines earlier so us students don't get overstressed though

[@Jeta_]

Oh I am so sorry that happened to you, it sounds incredibly stressful and I totally agree they should make the deadlines earlier for the universities! I'm glad in the end it all worked out - wishing you all the best for the future!

[@floraretallack]
