Do uni clearing places fill up or are places unlimited?


It depends on the course and the university.

There's practical limits on how many students a course can take - but even in clearing a university knows they can make 2-5 offers for every place available (in some courses/universities) because not everyone who gets a clearing offer from them will choose that option.
Just saw the snapchat filter for alevel result day... I didn't need to see that. ..thanks pc world and snapchat. .

they fill up so it is limited.


I heard uni's can take as many students as possible
Like they have an unlimited number

Well, PHYA4 and PHA5A are exactly as I predicted with 120 UMS being 65/75.

CHEM4 is two marks higher, CHEM5 is two marks higher.
The ISA boundaries are disgusting...

Don't you mean CHEM4 is two marks lower?
Anyone worried about not getting into SOAS
Why did I look at the grade boundaries !!! I want to end my life now ffs
Got a triple monitor setup at work just monitoring grade boundaries . The stress is real

No, higher. I expected CHEM4 to have 120 UMS as 88/100, turns out it's 90/100.

Is that supposed to be sarcastic?

I blame the teacher
He should be able to control the class
Kick them out if they are messing about


I don't blame the teacher, he's really good. He's gotten half of the class upto a consistent A but the other half just don't want to cooperate.

He can't kick them out either because it's against the policy of the school - sixth form students are expected to remain in lessons and do work regardless.

I see
I'm looking at SOAS for clearing law. They say they have limited spaces on their website and their lines open from 7am tomorrow
I get my results at 11 so I'm scared the places will fill up

I thought this. Got a few UMS into an A last year, so really needed to ace this years exams to get an A. But boundaries have gone up😓

Oh okay, get you.
I'm now pretty sure I'll miss my firm offer. But edexcel maths is nice so I should hopefully get into my insurance. :redface: Oh well... Now I just need to get my parents ready for my inevitable failure

No

Universities can't have unlimited spaces. They haven't got the funding or the facilities for an unlimited number of people.
