Good, it was bullshit. Tell me about the voluntary work in Mali your parents financed. Tell me about the work placement your family arranged. Tell me about the online company your family set up with you. The last one was literally a suggested topic for an Oxbridge application, the assumption was you’d have been importing and selling Italian food online as a 17-year-old, completely deranged.

Or lovely but poor parents. I hated the whole gap year culture when I went to University. Everyone carried on like they were so cool. No, you weren’t, you were just rich enough to afford flights and to do fuck all for a year.
