According to The Guardian, top universities of UK expected to stick rigidly to offer grades. For the first time in years, sixth-formers who don’t get the A-level grades they need in August are unlikely to be able to talk their way into top universities. It will become a long-term trend that it is difficult to apply for top univeristies in UK. Experts incicate that even if the pandemic fades away, this tough new environment for applicants will not. Expert predict that an “extraordinary” 25% rise in the number of 18-year-olds in the population by 2030 will drive up competition for places. The effect of this will be felt even more strongly. Because the number of young people who want to go to university is continuing to rise each year.

根据《卫报》报道，针对今年夏季成绩，英国顶尖大学将严格卡线录取。今年将会是多年来的第一次，在8月份未获得所需A-level成绩的高中生，不太可能被顶尖大学获得录取。并且，名校申请难，将成为一个长期的趋势。专家表示，即使疫情消失，对申请者来说这种艰难的新环境也不会消失。专家预测，到2030年，18岁人口的“惊人”增长25%，将加剧对名额的竞争。这种影响会更加强烈，因为年轻人想上大学的人数每年都在不断增加。

The Guardian
