Knowledgeable people of Mumsnet please help!
DC year 12 and starting to think about future. Friend kindly gave me Guardian uni tables. DC interested in economics. Top 6 are usual suspects Oxbridge, LSE etc. Number 8 is Brighton (BBC grades required), 15 is LSBU (BBC) but then back up to Birmingham at 21 with AAA. I know grade requirements are not everything but am a bit baffled. Brighton is 108 in overall rankings. Manchester is rank 30 and requires AAA.
It’s getting on 30 years since I went to Uni so trying to inform myself. Obviously visits are required, research into types of courses but how do you use / not use these rankings?
Thank you!
