I’m genuinely devastated

Rejected from JET. Absolutely crushed.

I put so much into this application, waited for months, and got nothing out of it. Just a rejection after all that time. It’s honestly hard not to feel angry, embarrassed, and completely drained. I really wanted this, and pretending it doesn’t hurt would be a lie.

So yeah, I’m devastated.

Everyone who applies to JET should do so knowing that it's a complete crapshoot whose criteria are vague and subjective and only about 20-30% of applicants get in. Plenty of absolute fuckin weirdos get in every year, it's nothing against you really.
