Anyway, it wasa proper joy telling students with better than anticipated grades they could come to Warwick, but the whole system is currently dysfunctional. Replace it with an algorithm, use attained grades.
On my course the most common offer was AAB, with some ABBs. Of those I talked to about offers, the state school kids were split between AAB and ABB offers, but all the private school kids got AAB offers. I was ABB. It seemed fair to me then and now, but actual grades are better.
On English the difference was the fact a handful of us weren’t interviewed, just straight accepted, but were still all AAA.
Again, all true
Coincidentally, it's York and Warwick where I got offers!
They have to fight harder to get those grades and so have more drive than rich kids who get the grades spoon fed or force fed.
Yes, 100%. University’s about independent learning. High achieving kids from difficult schools have already got that down pat.
For years now, very few universities interview other than Oxbridge, medical schools, nursing and some BEd courses. For almost all it comes down to predicted grades (with their inaccuracies) and, sometimes, the personal statement.
