I think the message here is we can no longer place trust in aspirational or perhaps, at times, deluded students. Unconditional offers are rare. Removing them makes little difference to the student intake.
Good. Excessive Unconditional offers cause so many problems x

Good. As a teacher trying to motivate students to do well at A level, 'unconditionals' are a disaster!😈😬😊
Universities give out unconditional offers to fill places and nothing more.
