| Your competitor group refers to a group of schools or colleges who compete with your centre. The competitor group must contain a minimum of five schools or colleges, | ||||||||||||||||
| excluding your own school or college and should have been selected by your centre to inform this report. A list of the selected competitors is provided here | competitor group | |||||||||||||||
| This report contains choices (applications) and accepts from students at your school or college that applied to higher education through UCAS. | ||||||||||||||||
| The competitor group data is for all applicants, accepts and choices (mainscheme choices) that applied through UCAS from your competitor group. | ||||||||||||||||
| Your centre is not included in the competitor group. | ||||||||||||||||
| The report is comprised of all applicants that have the relevant school code attached to their application, this will include mature students. It is possible that some of the applicants | ||||||||||||||||
| may have attended the school previously and are not recent pupils. The school code is obtained when the applicant either enters a code or a buzzword, the system searches | ||||||||||||||||
| for matches and returns a choice for the applicants to make their selection. UCAS does not verify this as part of the application process. | ||||||||||||||||
| The school codes for the 2011 cycle have been assigned using a different method compared to the 2010 cycle. In 2011 the school code was assigned depending on how the | ||||||||||||||||
| application came to UCAS (eg applied via a school, applied independently). The main outcome of this is that the applicants that appear in your 2011 Competitors Report are | ||||||||||||||||
| mainly the applicants that have applied directly from your school. | ||||||||||||||||
| The data is taken at the end of each application cycle and is not current cycle. | ||||||||||||||||
| The choices are the five choices listed on the application form, these are the mainscheme choices. | ||||||||||||||||
| The accepts are from all application routes - mainscheme and direct (Extra, clearing, adjustment and RPA). | ||||||||||||||||
| The % total accepts is the percentage of acceptances for each subject out of the total acceptances for the competitor group. | ||||||||||||||||
| The choice:accept ratio is the number of choices divided by the number of acceptances. | ||||||||||||||||
| In the subjects table the data has been suppressed if there are less than five applications to a subject line. The suppressions will alter the subject group total and overall total in | ||||||||||||||||
| the table. The number of applications and acceptances in the subjects table may not match the summary tables due to data suppressions. | ||||||||||||||||
| Not all mission group institutions may be UCAS member institutions. The mission group data included in this report is only for UCAS member institutions: | ||||||||||||||||
| List of universities and colleges | ||||||||||||||||
| The ethnicity and disability data is reported for Home (UK) applicants only, this differs to previous Competitor reports. | ||||||||||||||||
| The tariff is calculated using the results obtained through the Awarding Body Linkage (ABL). If an applicant has qualifications not verified through the ABL | ||||||||||||||||
| the qualificaitons will not form part of the tariff score. | Tariff | |||||||||||||||
