I refer to your request for information dated 20 June 2023 made under the Official Information Act. You have requested information in relation to entry to the University of Otago's Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MB ChB) in 2023.
Would it please be possible to clarify the information you are interested in? In your request, you have specified "students accepted" - are you interested in the data for students who received offers to enter the MB ChB programme, or are you interested in the data for students who entered the MB ChB programme (i.e., accepted their offers)?
We will wait to hear back from you before we continue to process your request.
