Very high ums - but who actually sees them?

[Sparrows12]

My DD is lucky to have achieved very high ums scores in her AS exams - in particular she scored 100% in her (fingers crossed) chosen degree subject, which is a great confidence boost. But who actually ever gets to see ums scores (apart from Cambridge)? I looked on the Student Room website and there was a general "coolness" that anyway 100% ums scores aren't such a big deal, which left me feeling a bit flat. Is it fairly normal, or rare? This is English. If there was an admission tutor out there with some advice that would be great. Why aren't ums scores included automatically as part of the application process? It seems a waste of useful information. I'm guessing it could be included in her reference?

Pretty certain they don't queen. They do sometimes ask candidates to provide their final UMS score if they narrowly miss their offer grades, and why would they do that if they had access to the raw scores? I can't see the exam boards being happy to give Cambridge access to that info either - it makes no sense. You may be confusing it with STEP where Cambridge do get to see the actual scripts if they want to though - that's administered by their own exam board so they can do it, and a so a particularly elegant solution can mitigate errors elsewhere in STEP.
