Vent/ cry for help
I apply for architecture undergrad at UCL in January and submitted my UCAS application on time. However for some separate reasons I wasn’t able to confirm my referee’s contact info on UCAS so I contacted the admissions team directly and they said it would be ok and would reach out to me directly after I submitted my portfolio. To which I did everything else correctly and waited patiently for any more communications.
Until last week I was notified of rejection from UCL on the basis of an incomplete application. I reached out to the team again and apparently I submitted grades incorrectly on UCAS as an international student who literally had no idea how the website works and so it qualified as 2 incomplete sections to which they didnt want to contribute the application.
I’m genuinely just completely heartbroken right now. I emailed them one more time after submitting an enquiry but I’m not hopeful. UCL was my dream school since 9th grade and to be rejected over literally the stupidest mistake known to man is soul-crushing. I was even looking for director contacts to maybe reconsider my case but I’m just going thru the 5 stages of grief ATM. Life sucks. What makes it worst is that my personal, grades, and portfolio were all actually good enough to maybe get in. I worked so hard and now I just want to curl up into a ball and die. Sorry for the rant.
