Subject: Official Information request - MBChB Application Processing

 

Dear University of Otago,

 

1)  Can any student submit an application for MBChB to the Medical
Admissions Committee for consideration -- or does the student need  to ask
permission in order to apply.  I am thinking, particularly, of
'Alternative' Category applications where there is a 1-2 month window in
which the University may or may not authorise applications by the student.

 

2) Does Peter Crampton have the authority to prevent a submitted
application from being presented to the Medical Admissions Committee
(during such time as the Medical Admissions Committee is in meeting)?

 

3) Does Brian Hyland have the authority to prevent a submitted application
from being presented to the Medical Admissions Commitee (during such time
as the Medical Admissions Commitee is in meeting)?

 

3)  Does Andrea Howard have the authority to prevent a submitted
application from being presented to the Medical Admissions Commitee
(during such time as the Medical Admissions Committe is in meeting)?

 

Yours Faithfully,

 

A person in New Zealand,

 

Kelly Roe.

Subject: RE: Official Information request - MBChB Application Processing

 

Dear Manager Policy and Compliance,

 

Thankyou for your considered response.

 

1)  If any student can submit an application for MBChB to the University
of Waikato without permission then:

 

1a) How many people (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019) informed Admissions
that `Alternative Category' was not appearing as an application in their
EVision during the finite window?  How many of those people went on to
successfully submit `Alternative Category' application?

 

2-4)  I am to understand that it is not the job of the Medical Admissions
Committee to select which candidates are eligable or qualified, rather, a
few individuals engage in a pre-screening process.  Please can you inform
New Zealanders what proportion of `Alternative Category' applicants are
culled via pre-screening (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019).

 

Thank you for informing New Zealanders that they have the right to request
information as to why their application was deemed unsuccessful under the
Official Information Act.

 

Otago might like to update their website which falsely states:

 

[1]https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

 

`The Medical Admission Commmittee will not enter into any correspondance
regarding application outcome or interview'.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

A Person in New Zealand

 

K Roe
