Sometimes - and sometimes universities will take students with very high grades (e.g. A*A*A) even when the course is otherwise listed as being full (NHS funded courses are generally an exception to this).

Okay, so for example if you do IB and a school needs 38 but you have 40?

If people only have to pay back 9% of what they earn over £21,000 then
good luck to the majority of students paying their loan back.

This assumes that the Conservatives are in the mood to move that boundary up (along with inflation/wage increases) any time soon, though. Which they have hinted they aren't. It won't be pretty in 10 years time if it is still £21,000 and wages have increased 20-30% and pretty much all full-time jobs pay that straight away. The whole point of the £21,000 minimum is to make it a progressive graduate tax, if they don't move that boundary up in line with wage growth, things are gonna get almost as bad as the doom-sayers were claiming in 2010.
