Some schools offer compensation after hundreds more students than expected met grade expectations
Students with places at oversubscribed medical schools in England are being asked to move to a course at a university elsewhere in the country in exchange for £10,000 after a surge in applications was followed by hundreds more students than expected meeting their grade offers.
If not enough students choose to move, some of them may be asked to defer the year by their university. The move is expected to affect about a third of Engalnd’s 33 medical schools.
