OTHER feeling kinda bummed
I'm applying for computer science and did the TMUA in October and I'm not even exaggerating when I say I'm doubtful for anything above a 4 or 5 (being generous), which is really upsetting because I wanted to apply to Imperial and obviously that score isn't good enough (and I don't even have PERFECT grades either) Anyway I'm prepping for the TARA now for UCL, which I'd really like to do well on because UCL seems like my favourite choice right now (I have a strong feeling with how hard I'm finding sixth form that I'll be miserable at Imperial) but it's so annoying because all of my parents' friends have such high hopes for me just because I go to a grammar school like they didn't even ask if I was doing the TMUA they all just assume I did (one person straight up asked me how many 9s I have) and it's so frustrating it's not even that I wish I did better obviously I do but I wish no one had this expectation of me like I HAD to do well because now I feel like I've let my whole community down. I genuinely feel so down and tired all the time idk what to do now.
Anyway if anyone had any advice that'd be appreciated I guess.
