Students advised to keep shopping around for places
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE NEW universities, formerly polytechnics, have made offers of places to 32 per cent more students this year than at the same time last year. The number of people withdrawing is only 14 per cent up, which means that more people are sticking to their poly places.
Both UCCA and PCAS, the two admissions bodies, are receiving new entries, but existing candidates should not be alarmed. More entries usually means more places are made available. There are still good places on offer, especially in the sciences, and the advice is to keep shopping around.
The Independent and the Independent on Sunday are the only newspapers publishing university and polytechnic places available through Clearing.
In an exclusive agreement with UCCA and PCAS, the lists will appear in the Independent on Sunday this weekend and in the Independent next Tuesday, 8 September; they will be updated on Thursday, 10 September and again in the Independent on Sunday on 13 September.
Further updated lists will appear throughout September.
