Dd has let slip that she and her best friend are among 6 girls in their year (single sex grammar) who are being invited to a talk on Friday where they'll be encouraged to think about applying to Oxbridge for uni.
It's not something she's ever considered, she's very self-deprecating but has a very 'individual' way of thinking - asks questions all time.
As a background, dh didn't go to uni for various reasons but probably should have, I got a solid 2:1 but was the first in the family to do so.
I just wondered if anyone else has had this experience?
