Reform university applications so students know their grades when applying.

What the petition asks
We believe that the current system of A-level and university applications is broken and needs a complete overhaul. A new system should allow students to know their final grades before applying for undergraduate courses in England.
We consider that the current system means that applications are often mismatched to final grades, meaning some people end up on less ambitious courses than what they could achieve and others are left to go through the stressful process of clearing.
