So I'm assuming everyone interested competes for a place among the 160 state-fee placements. Do you do any checks on applicants regarding whether they can afford the high-fee placements? Or is it an accepted fact that sometimes richer students will get lucky and obtain a state-fee placement whilst poorer students will be faced with the unfortunate choice to either pay for more than they can afford or give up on the class (for that year at least).

I guess neither scenario is fair. The only fair way is a simple 'first-come-first-served'. Whether you're rich or poor, at the end of the day you can hopefully be safe in assuming that the most dedicated students will be at the front of the line. By the time you have 100/120+, everyone who really really really wants to be there is there [not to say those who have yet to enrol don't also have the same enthusiasm].

I know what you're thinking. How cool would it be if that bloke from England was Raadec. I must disappoint you by revealing it is not I.
