How the shortlist works

Ambitious, realistic and safer

Each match is placed using typical entrants’ UCAS points from official data, compared with your predicted grades. Then check the course page for the current offer.

  • AmbitiousTypical entrants arrived with more points than your predicted grades give.
  • RealisticTypical entrants arrived with about the points your grades give.
  • SaferTypical entrants arrived with fewer points than your grades give.

UCAS points turn A level grades into a number: A* is 56, A is 48, B is 40. Typical entrants’ points show what students arrived with, not the offer.

Questions parents ask

Want help with the decision? See the University Programme

Is it free?

Yes. Your first two courses show straight away, with no details needed. The full five and deadline reminders are free too, with a parent or guardian’s details. We contact the parent or guardian only, never students under 18.

Where does the data come from?

onDesk research plus official course data, including the Discover Uni dataset. Typical offers are read from each university’s own course page and re-checked every six months.

How do the filters work?

Where to study, placement year and your A level subjects decide which courses are in. Your grades decide whether each one is ambitious, realistic or safer. Your area of finance decides which come first. Nothing is paid for or sponsored.

Is this a ranking?

No. It is a shortlist matched to your picks. Courses are placed as ambitious, realistic or safer for you, not ranked against each other.

What do the alerts cover?

Open days, UCAS deadlines and admissions tests for the universities on your shortlist, by email to the parent or guardian. They are off unless you tick the box.

Is Year 11 too early?

No. Use your expected grades and the A levels you plan to take. The shortlist shows which subjects each course needs, which helps with A level choices.

Course data: Discover Uni, October 2026. Contains HESA data, Discover Uni dataset, CC BY 4.0. Courses are placed on typical entrants’ UCAS points from that data, never on an offer. This is not an official ranking.
