Favourite 17 responses to people bemoaning that Love Island had more applications than Oxbridge
In case you hadnt noticed, the new series of Love Island started on ITV2 yesterday.
Which must mean its time for the annual Mention that more people apply to be on Love Island than apply to get into Oxbridge day. Seems to come around sooner each year, doesnt it?
Heres BBC1 Breakfast presenter, Dan Walker.

Probably because Love Island isnt aggressively biased against people from comprehensive schools. https://t.co/gb5JiyEB1j

A reminder that Love Island is open to literally anyone, so of course applications are higher than to a selective and notoriously barriered establishment. In other news more people applied for a Tesco Clubcard than Oxbridge… https://t.co/LTicJJwN4w

Never mind Love Island, did you know that more people have typed “LONDON 1965” into the #DoctorWhoOnTwitch chat than have applied to Oxbridge this year?

'What is happening to us?'
I guess people would rather go on a free holiday than get in tens of thousands of pounds' worth of debt, Daniel. https://t.co/GXTZc9dvSG

You leave #LoveIsland with a hot partner and £25,000, you leave Oxbridge with a lot of debt and huge misconceptions about the world, I know what i'd rather. Plus, I don't think Love Island declines applications depending on what school you went to. https://t.co/iJFwiAwE3i

More people born in the years 1988-99 with any educational background than 2000-01 with a specific educational background, huge if true https://t.co/dEij8M9FWP
