Dear Veda,

 

I refer to your request of 11 July 2022.

 

“5. Lower quartile core GPA for successful applicants”
“7. Upper quartile core GPA for successful applicants”

 

Your requests for GPA quartiles are refused under section 18(g) of the
OIA, as this information is not held by the University and the OIA does
not require us to create it.

 

The University has decided to provide the other information requested,
subject to the need to withhold some data relating to very small groups of
students to protect their privacy under section 9(2)(a) of the OIA. The
University will provide this information as soon as reasonably
practicable.

 

You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this response.

 

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Ewert

University of Auckland

Dear Veda,

 

Further to my email of 9 August 2022, please see attached the information
which the University decided to provide in response to your request.

 

To avoid doubt, as stated in Note 1: “"Successful" refers to all
applicants who received an offer of place, whether or not the offer was
accepted.” This means, for example, that for the BOptom 2021 RRAS
applicants in the Auckland (Undergraduate) category, where the lowest
successful GPA was 5.7 and there were three applicants who accepted offers
and took up places in the BOptom, that 5.7 is not necessarily the lowest
GPA of those three applicants who took up places, but 5.7 is the lowest
GPA out of those applicants who were offered places.

 

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Ewert

University of Auckland
