A-level results: Scramble for university places

Hundreds of thousands of students face an anxious wait as they chase remaining university places.
Figures on Friday morning from the Ucas admissions service show there are 372,000 students accepted - compared with 402,000 at this stage last year.
The number eligible for clearing has risen to 170,000 students - and a further 80,000 are awaiting decisions.
An error at the University of Ulster saw 400 students offered places which were then withdrawn.
