to put it in context though, this is the first time nearly all of the applicants have applied for something, so they arent really fine tuned for applying for things yet. Also, a good deal of the applicants are at least for now untested incompetents for whom cooking breakfast is an impossible notion. Its small wonder that so many fail at the first hurdle in a proper formal application.
With experience you'd all be capable of landing straight offers,and without batting your eyes.
put another way, some of you guys will be soooo much better at 25 than at 17.
