[QUOTE="Trogdor the Burninator, post: 75801877, member: 88620"] In practice the universities themselves will limit numbers - they won't be able to find space for 180 million dance theory students. So there are 200 places for Medicine for first years, and 1,000 applicants. The universities take the top 200 based on academic results, interviews, etc. The remaining 800 apply for something else. Back when I went to university, you had a pretty good idea of what course at which university you could get into based on your high school results and the scores needed from the previous years. You listed choices from 1-5 (at least I think it was five), and when you got your test results, you would be automatically "applied" for the first choice, then if you didn't get that, the second choice, and so on. The number of places was fixed by the uni, the score needed was dynamic and a result of the number of people trying to get in for that year. So if Medicine was a high demand course, the score would be higher than, say Marketing. [/QUOTE]
