gollark: It's kind of stupid but cannot practically be changed now.
gollark: Anyway, universities just have to base it on predicted grades, past grades, and a "personal statement" and "reference". So you get an "offer", usually saying "if you get X grades you can go to this university", and have to hope that you match that in the exams.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: Stay here, it would be inconvenient and expensive not to.
gollark: The application system here is actually very weird - you don't get grades until August, 2 months before university terms start, but you do applications in September (the **previous** September) to January.
