BRISTOL, ENGLAND - AUGUST 14: Students at the Winterbourne International Academy react as they open their A-level results on August 14, 2014 in South Gloucestershire, near Bristol, England.

However, there is now a record number of university places available and some students may still get their places even if they did not get the grades. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
