Durham uni english lit?
On the rankings, Durham is best in the UK for literature and I thought it was very competitive to get a place - yet it has a 68% acceptance rate?
That's still quite a low offer rate for English Lit, what are the stats for other English courts say compared to Oxford, Bristol, UCL?

68% offer rate, remember some students will:
-accept the offer & fail to achieve the grades, then get rejected
-Get an offer from an Oxbridge/LSE/UCL/Bristol/Warwick... and pick that over Durham
-Get an offer, then not select it as they dont believe they can meet the entrance requirements and pick a lower entree tariff.
Hence the true acceptance rate would be much lower, also english lit is not a very competitive subject, Undergrad offer rates generally are much less competitive than people realise (due to the fact that places are not confirmed till results day).
