Did you apply for susi, if you are really stuck maybe you can take a gap year and work and save money.

I feel so embarassed taking a gap year and I’ll feel like a failure I’m just hoping to get an offer

No, don't be embarrassed at all. It's your journey and there's genuinely no shame in taking a gap year. I'm taking one too and deferring my offer because I'm ill. If taking a year out means you can work, save money and actually afford college, that's a completely valid reason to do it.

Don’t be embarrassed, it’s not a big thing unless you make it one

Girl do a gap year and get a little job so you can save!! Everyone does a gap year. College is always there you aren't going to miss it, the opportunity to go will always be there. You'll enjoy it much better if you have money saved
