    CONGRATULATIONS to the geniuses who got offers!! You guys are so deserving of it, and I wish you nothing but success. Lots of love x

    I. am. so. blessed.
    Thank you thank you THANK YOU for the beautiful words. I have been completely enveloped in your love and support over the last 24 hours, and I could not be more grateful. Today I woke up feeling not deflated, but content. It really is okay. I feel like I somehow have a new sense of optimism within the scary and crazy and beautiful uncertainty of whatever happens next.
    Here's to the future hey, I'm glad you're here on this journey x

      UnJaded Jade i just wanted to tell you, you're not the only one. I had my heart set on cambridge since I was 11 and worked so hard for it. When it didn't work out I was absolutely crushed, I was angry and sad and aimless and then I just got with it. And I wouldn't change it for the world. And this is not to say, don't work hard for something and get it, but I have made the experience that all these things make you grow and shape you in the most amazing ways and often, having to rethink what is going to happen and making new and updated choices actually improves things. One thing, I don't know whether you are thinking about it or not, gap years are amazing. A friend of mine deferred very late and spontaneously in august and had an incredible with incredible experiences. And I wouldn't not have done my gap year for the world. You've been in education all your life and - i don't know, I had an existential crisis when I came back and I dealt with that and now at Uni, I know I've made an informed decision.
      On the other hand, you are are an incredible young women, smart and hard-working and confident and engaged and you have infinite possibilities in your future. (And sometimes, better things come out of having to go a different way about The One Dream. My sister wants to do medicine, has not managed the test in Germany the first time and now is training as a paramedic for this year and she is learning SO much and has never loved her life more). England has a strange elitism about Oxbridge bjt getting rejected will make you gain perspective and eventually it won't sting so much anymore.
      So much love xxx

      What's with all the negativity in the replies yall? Jade has obviously tried incredibly and, for that, I have so much respect for her. Also, so what if she monetises her videos? She's a teenager, this is probably her only source of income. Good luck Jade, I'm positive that you'll find your place in a university that's right for you xx

    Jade - four years ago, I got rejected by Oxford too, when others from my school were accepted. One girl in particular, who did get a place, rather enjoyed taunting me about it. I ended up having the most INCREDIBLE three years at Lancaster University, not just academically, but also personally. I graduated with a first class honours degree in History and Politics, and I left having grown as a person. During my last year, I was accepted on to one of the most competitive graduate schemes in the UK, and I'm now partway through my first year on the scheme. And you know what? The girl who taunted me about not getting a place at Oxford, when she did, also applied to this graduate scheme, and WASN'T successful. Now I'm not like her, I didn't take any delight in that. My purpose of mentioning it, is to simply stress that attending Oxford (or Cambridge), doesn't necessarily mean success afterwards. Just as Oxford decided I wasn't right for them, the organisation I now work for decided my former classmate wasn't right for their graduate scheme, despite that piece of paper with University of Oxford on it. You are clearly dedicated, hard-working, and ambitious, and if you continue to carry that with you, you will do great things. Good luck!

    I’ve followed you since you started your channel and I owe you SO much for getting me through GCSES (and a 9 in lit ahah).

But 5 months later I am a full time CZcamsr and my life couldn’t be on MORE of a different course. (Not that I recommend dropping out of school ahah). Just remember that it won’t mean anything in a few months time when you’re exactly where you want to be.

I am in my final year of university and applied for a summer job at Disney World in Florida. I made it through three stages of interview that all involved a great deal of travelling. The final outcome is that I have been waitlisted, which I found out on my 21st birthday. Obviously, Disney isn't Oxford, but I just wanted to say that I completely understand where you're coming from.

You have so many good attributes and you’re sure to achieve many things regardless of where you can go. The best thing you can do is accept this moment which will be painful (it would be very much for anyone) and push through and persevere. Make it so that they will regret not having you! You will realise at some point that you did not need Oxford at all and you’re highly capable wherever you end up.

I am so so so sure though that you are going to do great things in life and you are still an inspiration to so many people (including many of my friends and me) and honestly watching this video was one of the most heartbreaking and happy thing I have watched in a long long time because I am so sad to see you upset, but I think you will find joy in so many other aspects of your life (including Uni!!) Sending love x x x

    I've also had a very horrible yet upsetting day today (the worst).I literally was like you today, the excessive stress and tears when waiting for the decision email, and then when I found out that that I had been rejected from Cambridge University I thought that all my hard work had gone to waste because everything I worked for was for my dream to go to Cambridge university to study medicine simply because I loved medicine and the way it was taught. I also don't want to go to school, dreading my head of sixth form and everyone asking me 'did you get in?' Thank you for your comforting words of wisdom and reassurance and don't worry I'm sure you will continue to shine as an awesome biologist in another university. Again, it is their loss on a potentially incredible applicant

    Jade, this is the first video of yours that I've watched, and I literally failed my driving test because of such a stupid mistake a few days ago. At first I cried just like you did because it's so horrible when you're so hopeful of something and your dreams are just put to an end so suddenly. I hate that feeling of trying so hard, and still not being good enough. And I know that's probably what you feel too atm. But, you're a really kind and genuine human being, and I really believe there is something so much better for you out there! I can't wait to see you thrive and flourish, because whatever you'll do, you're going to be incredible at it, because you seem so passionate and hardworking. You have a beautiful smile, and just keeping being amazing! 😁

    Hey Jade, I’ve wanted to go to Cambridge since the age of 14, I worked my arse off and guess what... yesterday I found out I received a rejection. Yeah there were tears for a while but I’m taking it way better than I thought I would. I’m honestly so proud of how I conducted myself through every stage of the process and you should be too! We’re in the same boat and saying it’s not shit would be a lie but it’s not the end of the world. I’m so excited for the LSE and so honoured both the LSE and UCL gave me offers. I’m sure you’ve had offers back from other amazing unis and will smash it anywhere you go. I don’t know if you believe in God but for anyone who does and received a rejection from whatever university, you can’t battle with what God knows is best for you. And even if you don’t believe in God, everything happens for a reason. If it was meant for you, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOURS, NO MATTER WHAT. I completely relate when you say the pressure from other people is the hardest thing to deal with. Practically the whole worlddd wants to know how you did and it’s exhausting repeating the news but you are the most important person on this journey. As long as you give yourself time off and come to terms with it yourself, other people will not matter. Three people applied to Oxford out of your entire year! A similar number from mine! Most people don’t even have Oxbridge on their radar! Treat the process and the interviews as a valuable experience that you had the opportunity to have out of sooo many others that did not. A rejection has motivated me like nothing else. London is one of my most favourite places in the world, the only thing that pulled me towards Cambridge over the LSE was accommodation 😂 but I know I’ll make that work. Be excited for this next chapter of your life, it’s where you’re meant to be. Sending you love x

For me, the whole way through the application process, the fear of rejection scared me from applying but this video showed me that rejection is still ok. I did it. I got an interview which in itself was above my wildest dreams. And then today I was rejected. I have never related to a video as much as I have now. Thank you for your honesty and positivity. 💛

I totally agree with how deflating the process is and it’s so disheartening, but it’s really not the end of the world. The thing I found hardest was telling people but they were so positive and supportive. I’m now on my gap year and feeling so so positive about the future!

The way you see your self is probably completely different to how your friends, family, teachers and I (even as a stranger) see you. Not only are you incredibly intelligent, you are more importantly hard working and self motivated which counts for so much in whatever career path you take to get you to the top. It’s by no coincidence that your channel has grown so much in a short space of time, other than that your personality is something that over 100,000 people admire and strive to be. You are so genuine, honest, caring and beautiful which is what we all love so much about you.

    Jade!!!
    Everybody here is mentioning your grades and yes, they were perfect and yes you're brilliant academically BUT honestly you're so much more than that? I know that sounds cheesy and stuff, but I think sometimes Oxbridge et similia fail to recognize how much there is to a person than their grades and polished interviews (I mean, even the personal statement has to be 85% "look how great I am at the subject I'm currently applying to" and 15% "I also do this and this... You know?"). You are committed to your school not only study-wise but socially and *personally*, you volunteer, you have strong ethics (questioning what is on your plate isn't something a lot of people do), you haVE A CZcams CHANNEL WITH 111K SUBSCRIBERS and you never fail to inspire them and motivate them???
    Probably you hear this a lot but whenever I look at you, I see a special glow - I can truly find beauty in the person that you are, not only physically, but mentally and spiritually. It truly comes from my heart, I mean how in the world a person you don't even know would take this much time to write something like this if it weren't true? 😂
    Also! Remember your gap year!!! When your first mentioned it you were so excited, and said you would pursue that path unless you got an offer from Oxford. Maybe it is meant for you to take this gap year and (even though I'm not sure how the whole thing works and if you can actually do this) maybe re-apply for Oxford next year if you feel like it?
    Jade.
    Best of luck.
    I know it will work for you - keep your Faith.

    You’re a lovely soul!!!! Everything happens for a reason and there must be something better for you so don’t let it put you down. Good luck for the future and hopefully you’ll get in to a uni which is better for you so stay positive!
