While many learners perform well in grade 12 they aren't accepted into universities all the time. However, there are reasons for this. One main reason is universities don't want co okie cu tter people. Meaning they don't want the same people over and over again so you have to be unique. You can't just be the same as everyone else. Another thing is you're just not what they are looking for at the moment. For example if they are looking for a sports person and you're an artsy people they won't use the person needed for them.
