Sorry you had to deal with that. It's quite surprising to me though. I've only had 1 AC, but I was the only 2nd year uni student. There was one third year, 2 recent post grads, who'd graduated last summer, and then there were 3 older applicants who were in other established jobs.It's rude none the less, but I think it is just naivety. When i began this process, I was certainly under the impression most people got something in second year. I kept seeing tiktoks of "How i got 4 VS offers on my first attempt" etc so figured of course I'd get at least one or two. In reality it's very common to apply for years without getting anything, not to mention SO many career changers. Keep on doing you! If anything, those kinda questions can sometimes reflect quite badly on the person asking, and grad recruitment is always watching.
