Statistics seen by Exeposé shed some light on the provisional make up of next term’s intake, and of all applicants to the University.
The data, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI), anonymously reveals the gender, predicted grades and education type of each student, available in a table pictured below.
Just over 27,500 applicants were offered places, with over 12,000 acceptances.
Of the 8,131 students who picked Exeter as their firm choice for 2013 entry, the majority are female and have predicted grades of AAB or above. Most hail from state schools but proportionally privately educated teenagers take up a large amount of offers, given that only 7% of the population attend independent institutions.
Almost 1,000 offer holders are known to have been predicted less than AAB, though this figure may be significantly higher. Much like the educational background of some students, the University does not know the predicted grades of a minority of applicants; whilst those yet to receive offers through clearing or adjustment are also not included.
Separate figures show that applications to Exeter have increased by a third on last year’s figures, on the back of entering the Russell Group and being awarded the Sunday Times University of the Year award.
The dramatic increase of 33% is believed to be the reason behind the University’s decision not to enter clearing this year. It represents the first time applications have gone up since tuition fees were tripled in 2010, with 34,077 students applying for 2013/14 entry, compared to 25,629 the previous year.
Both sets of provisional statistics are available below.
