Top Uni Clearing

I don't think it'll be significantly different from a 'normal' year. Most unis will have adjusted their offer rates to take into account the wider expected spread of grades.

And most unis end up participating in clearing to some degree in any case.

LSE and Bristol entry requirements stated A*AA but if the spreadsheet of offers are correct, many offers were conditioned at AAB.

If other unis. did not make that change, they will not get sufficient number of A*AAs

Entry requirement at this point looks so ridiculous and seem to be only based on predicted grades and not actual offer grades.

The majority of courses in the UK will accept people one grade below, and often two. That's not uncommon and there are several factors why unis set their typical offers as they do.

Probably true.

unis. should publish actual entry requirement, many students are disadvantaged when they advertise much higher requirement as they are dissuaded from applying.

The practice seems so dodgy and unethical.
