Year 12 students in England: How do you feel about applying to university?

The government have lifted the emergency cap on student numbers for this year’s university admissions, but the director of the Higher Education Policy Institute warned this may not provide an effective solution to the high demand created by the use of CAGs.

Amid grade inflation for this year’s cohort in England, fears that next year’s university places may be taken up by students deferring from this year, and a lack of face-to-face teaching due to the pandemic, there are some concerns that current Year 12 students could be disadvantaged when applying to university next year.

We’d like to speak to current Year 12 students in England about how they feel about the prospect of applying to university next year.
