If the Uni’s take more Home students than the Government limit, they get hit by a double whammy - the Govenment reduces their funding, fines them, and they would have to support more students with less funding.

That’s why the ”Mocks" appeal isn’t going to work - the Uni my daughter works at aren’t actually accepting mock results today - prospective students can phone up and say they’re appealing the results on the basis of mocks but because they’re not verified by UCAS (yet) they don’t have a place; some courses won’t be taking any successful appeals later as they’re already full.
