Are the top universities expecting standards, or are they simply prejudiced? I really don't know. Is there a study showing that non-traditional A levels are correlated with lower final degree classifications?
Because on the face of it, it seems perfectly plausible that admissions tutors are just selecting people like themselves and subjects like they did back in the 20th century.
In the short term, it makes no difference to students' best choices for getting into uni, but in the medium to long term it makes a hell of a lot of difference.
