I have just joined the mailbase and see there is quite a lot of discussion
about the UCAS Stats. As Ann Richards commented, this autumn the UCAS
Department of Research & Statistics will launch a three pronged service
which will include the existing Institutional Planning Service, a Postcode
Service, which will enable each institution to track through the next cycle
live data on its own applications (by subject line, with background data for
1997 and 1998) and a Forecasting Service, which will allow institutions to
forecast the likelihood of applicants placing an institution (and specified
course) on their application form, putting them down as a CI or CF and
actually being enrolled.
At present we are piloting the Postcode Service and institutions have been
asked if they want to participate; shortly we will be doing the same for the
Forecasting model.
If you would like to email me or call me to have a chat, my telephone number
is 01242 544887 and email: [log in to unmask] I will be away from
30 June until 8 July, but will be pleased to talk to you when I return.
