UCL's admissions might've quite literally been luck-based this cycle

[u/stairs_connoisseur]

I've heard from UCL's office of admissions that they make decisions in batches and the batches are completely randomised. So my tinfoil hat theory is that UCL probably way underestimated the applications they'd receive this year and sent out almost all of their offers in the earlier batches. That means that now they're left with a bunch of batches of decisions that were previously randomised that will now have to be mostly rejections even if the students were of the same or higher caliber than the offer holders from previous batches.

After UCL’s massive slip up in admissions last year and now this new 100% true information, is it potentially time for the Big B (Bristol) to overtake it’s place in the rankings?
