Further evidence of the increase in unconditional offers


A report from UCAS shows that 34% of 18yr olds applying for university places in England, Wales and Northern Ireland this year received some form of unconditional offer, with such offers rising from 3,000 in 2013 to 68,000 and reached 87,500 when combined with offers that became unconditional when a student made the institution their firm choice. The analysis also showed that the majority of sixth form applicants missed their predicted A-level grades, regardless of the type of offer held. Applicants with offers conditional on achieving specific grades missed their targets by two grades or more in 56% of cases, compared with 67% for students with unconditional offers.
