Yes, I understood that. I suppose what i really meant was in the light of depressed application figures, how will the universities adjust their requirements.
They must meet the normal Govt figures first in order to qualify for the HEFCE funding? and these extra allowable exceptional ABB and above students may be in excess of that number.
However, what effect might that have on conditional offers made for AAA or AAB where the student does not meet the condition. Is there a chance that because of this relaxation those same students may be accepted by the universities offering a higher condition?
Or do you think that in order to keep the status of the courses high, they will still require the AAA condition to be met, even though this may jeaopardise the filling up of course numbers,
Why has the Grade for EXTRA students been dropped from AAB to ABB?
