[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a Professor at a non-Oxbridge UK university. UK Schools/departments do their own admissions with only a little help from the University. The school/department/course sets a minimum bar for admissions (e.g., AAB for a good school). For UK students, there are a fixed number of slots and every good school can fill all the slots with AAA students.

They then have an essentially unlimited number of slots for students that meet the minimum bar. These students are cash cows for the school and the faculty on the admissions committee attempts to figure out how to justify that every full fee paying student meets the minimum bar.

They do not lower the bar to ABB because that would hurt them in the league tables and the money associated with being high in the league tables is more valuable than the money from fee paying students. They keep the bar at AAB instead of AAA [b]because that allows them to admit more full paying student[/b].

If your full fee paying student can get into one AAB school, they can get into any AAB school.

Your entire post is Horse Potatoes.

There is no such thing as a full paying student or a part paying student or a nonpaying student in uk colleges and universities. You have zero clue what you'er talking about. Stop spouting false information.
