My instinct is we would have to look lower to find the “losers”, areas where a few entrants at the top of the profile are “slumming it”. A play with the unistats data should identify these very trivially.I’m honestly not sure how AAB rather than 340 points is workable or defensible… but more prosaically I hadn’t got access to publicly available data on the former.

I’d just note that HEFCE’s consultation clearly identifies the target group as students with AAB, not students with 340 UCAS points. As many students with three A levels will have other tariff-bearing qualifications too (Say a spare AS or a Grade 8 Music), 340 is too low to serve as a proxy for the target group. See my post http://heplanningblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/core-and-margin-more-on-aab.htmlAlso worth noting that the 397 courses you identify are those most likely to lose, as well as most likely to gain. This is pretty close to zero-sum competition.
