There's my confident 18 year old, worrying about how best to impress the people who will interview him at his first choice of University (though, he'd probably deny that - I'm his Mum, and I know).
He doesn't seem to think much about the associations with Cambridge or Oxford, and although they both appeal to me, I love his modesty and approve of his choice.
If you worked as an interviewer in ... oh ..... anyway, there was a Parent admiring her child 'showing off' to the most prestigious (in his mind) University, would you wonder how easily she's impressed? What about flattered?
