Oh god. She's exactly like half the girls I went to school with. I can't get more than 1 minute into her videos!
I hope it wasn't because of her that he didn't apply... I imagine she would be enough of a crappy human to discourage him from applying since she - the genius golden child - didn't get in then how would he.i'm pretty sure actually that jade said at one point somwhere where her brother was going to uni (can't remember where though!), and that he didn't apply to oxbridge...
I think that’s her narrow view and expeirence regarding everything is the major problem with her tbhIt's just truly not normal to still be dwelling on a university rejection from when you were 17 years old while you're going into your third year of university. I feel like she promotes the idea that you should romanticise your rejection as a life changing moment and you need to do a long period of soul searching and self-analysis to figure out why you got rejected to get over it. But I think that can be quite a toxic approach to getting over a uni/job rejection. Sure, let yourself be upset for a while but sometimes you just have to train your brain to stop thinking and talking about it in order to move on. Not every minor setback in life needs to be treated like some kind of trauma.
To me, Jade’s Oxford rejection shows that their system was working. I don’t mean that in a nasty way, but more that the fact she’s gone from wanting to study science at Oxford to a uni that doesn’t even offer science suggests that they picked up that she either wasn’t that enthusiastic or that her interest in science didn’t align with their course and teaching. I’m really surprised that she’s hasn’t realised that.The Oxbridge rejects I talked to and myself included more or less knew why they were rejected or could guess some of the reasons. She still seems to… not understand that? I wonder if that’s why she thinks there needs to be a lot of soul searching and the like, but again her experience just isn’t that representative of the average student
That just sounds like an excuse TBH, putting the blame on other people. "Unlike OTHER PPL for whom biology is THEIR WHOLE LIFE, I, Unjaded Jade, was rejected because I was a little TOO well-rounded". Anecdotal but for me, I got in choosing the subject I hated least and ended up loving it. For Jade it was probably "I was the top of my biology class but now feel inferior to these other Oxford interviewees, so I'll distance myself from the subject altogether".I mean, she said herself the reason she got rejected was because she met people at interview for whom biology was “their whole life” and for her it wasn’t. Whether or not that’s the reason idk, I got in and my subject really was not my whole life and I changed it later
I think they're on the same management so it's probably just a gift through that rather than Jade being intentional with her giftsnayna florence just got gifted the study guide book and must say i love her bit of shade in the caption - also this is so ? why would you gift it to someone the same age as you and not any younger studytubers who’re doing their GCSE’s / A’s
She is SO bitter loool, she felt so entitled to an oxbridge place and you could tell Ruby did too.I feel Jade is trying to be funny, in a self deprecating way. She just sounds bitter.
As another poster said; if this were an ex Jade was still talking about after all this time, people would think she was a right bunny boiler.
Get over it, for the love of your crumb of dignity left.
I completely agree - however I fee like Ruby (who I know isn’t perfect) has managed to successfully move past the Oxford rejection a lot more than Jade and has still managed to be successful down the ‘traditional’ university route! I don’t watch a lot of Ruby’s videos but I follow her on Instagram and her threads on Tattle and she doesn’t mention her Oxford rejection. She even went to Oxford the other week and didn’t make a big post about it like Jade didShe is SO bitter loool, she felt so entitled to an oxbridge place and you could tell Ruby did too.
I mean, it's the same with the fact that she's constantly harping on about her curly hair. Nobody past the age of 12 cares about curly hair on a white person, you are not "brave" or "inspirational" for just letting your hair go natural ffs. Not only does it shows your privilege as a thin, conventionally attractive person (and yes Jade, despite your weird faces, you are pretty and you know it), but I feel like it's almost insulting for all the person with afro-textured hair who keep actually getting discriminated because of their haircuts in our society.Also if that’s the only rejection she’s faced in her life then she needs to reflect on that…. Know your privilege Jade!!!
This is really it. There's going to be plenty of people in top unis, including Oxbridge who aren't going to be the most interested in their subject but showed skills that could make them good. Or in the case of Oxbridge, they fit the criteria that they look for in a person. It's more likely she messed up her interviews (as is often the case, probably because she lacks critical thinking skills at a guess) rather than her not showing enough interest or whatever she would like to thinkThat just sounds like an excuse TBH, putting the blame on other people. "Unlike OTHER PPL for whom biology is THEIR WHOLE LIFE, I, Unjaded Jade, was rejected because I was a little TOO well-rounded".

This is not completely true. Obviously black natural hair is much more discriminated against than white natural hair. But as someone (a white person) who has curly hair and a dad with Afro textured hair (also white), stranger will still feel our hair out in public, people have also constantly said to me that it is unprofessional and messy. (I do get compliments as well). Again, black natural hair is a much more complicated and discriminatory issue than white natural hair, but feeling confident in your curly hair takes years (I mean, for me it took 17 years to finally like my hair)I mean, it's the same with the fact that she's constantly harping on about her curly hair.
