To think that anyone can get in university nowadays?

I know a woman who's studying to be a social worker and while I don't think for one minute she's stupid I certainly wouldn't put her down as uni material.

For example, she was a strong supporter of Alfie Evans parents and was outraged when they turned his life support machine off.

Do they just let anyone in certain universities now or am I underestimating her?

you cannot get admitted to university without proving you have passed your English and Maths GCSE's
My DD has without having a pass in Maths GCSE or functional skills (MFL at a RG)

It must depend on the course. DD is doing a science degree and definitely had to have a good GCSE maths grade.

That would make sense. Just checked entry requirements to see if they pushed her through as she went straight into second year but the only GCSE requirement is English.
