Rise in unconditional offers

There were 12,115 unconditional offers made to university applicants last year, up from 2,985 in 2013. Overall, 49% were selected as a firm choice and 23% as an insurance choice. However, for universities making unconditional offers for the first time (and who made more than 100) only 17.3% were selected as the first choice, compared to 16.2% for their normal offer in 2013.  [ source: GTAssociates ]
