newcatle university offered many more places this year (2007) than they had in previous years. It saw several degrees' drop in regards to their entry score (my degree (biomed) entry score dropped from around 93 to about 80.XX). If they offer more in 08 then it might drop again, if not, it could stay stable. It also depends on the QUALITY of applicants. An increase in applicants with UAIs around the 65-70 mark arent going to have a significant impact on most degrees. However, if for some strange region we have a surge of child prodigies applying then the entry scores will probably rise. Entry scores for 08 are pretty irrelevant to 07ers. It's my opinion that they're only published to give the '09ers an indication of what to strive for.
