Highly selective courses at elite universities will 'go quite quickly', says the head of Ucas.
Results for A-levels, T-levels, BTecs and other Level 3 results will be released next week on 17 August.
In a separate interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme, she said "the vast majority will absolutely get their first choice next week". Vivienne Stern, the chief executive of Universities UK, told the programme that students should research what is available ahead of results day "so you've got a plan for if you for some reason, don't get the grades you're expecting".
"The confirmation from Ofqual that grade distributions will return to 2019 levels has given universities more confidence in making offers compared to last year, which may mean universities have less flexibility to offer courses in clearing in some subjects," it said.

Potential impact of wearables on physical activity guidelines and interventions: opportunities and challengesHundreds of millions of people own wearable devices capable of tracking their movement patterns.1 Accelerometers are also increasingly the preferred tool to measure physical activity in research studies.2 However, national and international physical activity guidelines, which recommend adults undertake at least 150–300 min of moderate intensity physical activity (MPA) or 75–150 min of vigorous intensity physical activity (VPA) per week, remain largely based on epidemiological studies in which physical activity was assessed using self-reported questionnaires. It is now known that such self-report measures generally overestimate moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), are unlikely to accurately measure light intensity physical activity, and cannot capture very short bouts of incidental activity of any intensity.3 These limitations impede the development of guidelines that reflect the true dose–response relationship between physical activity and health. Recent prospective studies using wearable devices have started to transform our understanding of the association between physical activity and health outcomes. These suggest that the dose–response relationship between physical activity and health is steeper than self-report data suggest, with substantially smaller doses of device-measured MVPA (~40–80 min/week) associated with benefits similar to those from achieving the currently recommended levels (based on self-report), and an even greater benefit of being highly active than previously appreciated from self-reported data.4 5 Such data have also demonstrated that just 3–4 min/day of device-measured intermittent VPA is associated with 30%–40% lower risk …
