That means a further 43,700 people have had their university and college places confirmed since midnight on A level results day.
Of the total, over 33,000 people have been accepted through Clearing at this point, a rise of 13% on the same stage last year.
The Clearing total is made up of 27,900 people placed after applying through the main UCAS scheme, as well as 5,400 who applied directly through Clearing after the 30 June deadline.
Over 142,100 people are still free to be placed in Clearing, down 3% on last year. This number goes down as the number of placed applicants goes up. Some applicants in this unplaced group will not have met their offer conditions, others will have received no offers earlier in the year, and some have chosen not to accept any offers.
The final date for applications this year is 20 September and students can then add Clearing choices until 20 October, if they choose to. A final total of 64,300 people were placed through Clearing by the end of the 2015 cycle.
UCAS’ daily Clearing analysis reports look at country of domicile and institution, as well as age, sex, and background (POLAR3 and SIMD) of applicants and the subjects and types of institution (Tariff group) they have been accepted to.
These updates will be published for the next nine working days, until 2 September. Our End of Cycle Report for 2016 will be published in December and will assess the full admissions year and include final applicant and acceptance totals.
