Easier to get into uni in 2013 ...?

Analysis of the 2013 UCAS figures shows that the pool of applicants fell from 700,000 to 677,000 but acceptances went up 7.3% in England.  Overall 9 out of 10 applicants received at least 1 offer, while a third received 5 offers.  However, the number of people entering institutions with traditional high tariff requirements with BBB or equivalent rose by 9%.  Students with predictions of BBB were 23% more likely to receive offers from all 5 choices than in the previous year.  UCAS said that the proportion of English 18 year olds enrolling with BBB or lower has increased by 70% over the last 2 years, to 17%.  [ source gtassociates.org ]
