Students are battling for university placements as Britain witnesses another record-breaking year of results.
According to Ucas, 2010 will be the most competitive year for university placements for a decade with some 660,000 students having applied to university.
Despite an increase in the number of high grades this year, the number of students accepted into the universities are capped leaving a percentage of A* students without an offer for university.
A three A* and three A grade student was left without a placement today after Oxford, London School of Economics, University College London, Bristol and Warwick were unable to confirm his offer after not having enough spaces avaliable.
More students are now force-fully being left on the unemployment line.
National Union of Students president Aaron Porter said: "With youth unemployment pushing one million, savage education funding cuts and arbitrary limits on places, the government is at risk of imposing poverty of opportunity on a generation of young people facing a very uncertain future."
