A six-string THREAD on #Clearing2020. As an experienced University Admissions Tutor, I can& #39;t help feeling that it would have been better had we all just gone with teacher& #39;s grades, submitted back in the spring. 1/6
Yes, they might have been a bit on the generous side but then that could have been offset, for example, by universities sticking strongly to their grade-offers rather than flexing for those who just missed. #Clearing2020 2/6
There might on the other hand have been a lot of individual appeals by pupils who hadn& #39;t put much effort into their mocks; but then there would have been a few months to handle those between the spring and summer. #Clearing2020 3/6
Of course, & #39;we are where we are& #39;, as they say. But it probably wasn& #39;t beyond the wit of (wo)man to foresee the extremely tricky situation we& #39;re all now in. Still, we& #39;ll do our best, as per. #Clearing2020 4/6
My only hope is that this somehow leads us to make the more radical move in future years to post qualification admissions. But I& #39;m not holding my breath, obvs. #Clearing2020 5/6
Whatever, good luck on Thursday everyone! #Clearing2020 6/6
