I have always been led to believe that unconditional offers were only made to students with high predicted grades and where the university really wants them to go to their particular university.
However, since restrictions on student number have been lifted I am getting the impression that it is the lower ranking universities who are making more unconditional offers (pre A level results). For example, a few of DD’s less academic peers have received unconditional offers, yet none of the A grade students have.
One of them is currently working at Ds, Es and Us. She got Es and Us in the last round of mocks, and I am beginning to wonder whether university is the right place for her. She might be on a course with students who achieved Cs and Ds, so she will have trouble keeping up or she might drop out. Doesn’t this make the idea of going to university rather pointless for some students?
