Dear University of Auckland,
While I understand that GPAs are intended for internal use only, what are the lower quartile, median, upper quartile and mean GPAs for graduates of the following programmes:
1) BA
2) BCom
3) BA/BCom conjoint
4) BSc
5) BA/BSc conjoint
6) BCom/BSc conjoint
over the years 2016, 2017 and 2018?
It is okay if the GPA of a student studying a conjoint is also part of the underlying figures used to calculate the component summaries. Similarly, I mean graduate in a loose sense of "people who completed these qualifications". If it's easiest for you to look at the people in the ceremonies or merely those who theoretically completed their programmes at any point in those years, please do whatever's easiest for you. Since graduates normally graduate in a ceremony the semester following their last course I again invite you to prioritise ease in deciding which year a graduate's GPA should be counted.
Yours faithfully,
