[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he was British he has the best odds of getting into Oxford university, just due to his age relative to the competition. SOL is the opposite of his position. The Summer borns are SOL. [/quote]

That's true. So if, for some weird reason, he doesn't get into a good university, it'll be a lot more embarrassing him than if someone on the young end doesn't get into a good university. He'll have to spend the rest of his life either living with the shame of being lazy or the embarrassment of being stupid, even if he doesn't get an external punishment for it.[/quote]

"Weird" reason? It's like you don't know that people's destiny is not determined by their day of birth. A lot of other factors come into play. Can you cite a single example of a person living their life in the way you describe? Who has the stain of not getting into a top university even when they were at the older end of the spectrum and is now living in a world of shame and embarrassment? Besides you, obviously.[/quote]
