My application has been unsuccessful. Can you tell me why?
Universities and colleges do not tell us the reasons for their decisions, so we cannot tell you why you have been unsuccessful. You can ask them direct, but they do not have to give you their reasons. Some universities and colleges will discuss their decisions with you, but others will not.
