New UCAS historical entry grades data: Just how useful is it?

For the very first time UCAS have introduced information on their website that attempts to show you what grades students actually had when they entered different courses, rather than just showing the university’s published entry grades.

It turns out, you see, that nearly 50% of students get into their course with qualifications below the level of those universities published by the universities.

So when a course says you need AAB to get in, it turns out, you don’t!

This new data is aimed at making this all a bit clearer and more transparent, so that you can make better decisions about which courses to apply to.
