Fretting about whether she want to go or not (leaving boyfriend, wants to stay closer to home) - she just sent off the application and hasn't heard anything yet...
Calls about how to withdraw her application, and then writes a letter about it, instead of using her ucas track.
Most people won't really care/pay attention to this storyline; neither of them have been portrayed as particulary smart in the past (from what I've seen), so it'd be a bit too easy if they got into Oxbridge.
Didn't both Oxford and Cambridge encourage this storyline, as part of their desire to appeal to a different group of possible applicants?
