applicants for medicine rises again

More and more very able students are failing to get a place on a medical degree as the number of applicants soars.

YEAR	Applications	Acceptances	Ratio
2013	84,395	7,515	11.2
2012	82,489	7,805	10.6
2011	84,598	7,798	10.8
2010	81,422	7,947	10.2
2009	72,431	7,977	9.1
2008	71,330	8,013	8.9

Even if all applicants apply for 4 universities and we can therefore divide the applicants by 4, it can still be seen that most are likely to be unsuccessful.
