UCAT thresholds for BDS entry for 2024, for HSFY General category

Mar made this Official Information request to University of Otago

The request was successful.

From: Mar

Dear University of Otago,

I am requesting for the UCAT thresholds set for BDS entry for 2024, for the HSFY General category.

I would assume that, since interviews have already been offered and completed by now, that the BDS UCAT thresholds for 2024 must be set.

Yours faithfully,

Mar

Dear UoO - Official Information Act,

I am wondering why the Decision-Making UCAT threshold for BDS 2024 entry under the HSFY General Category, has been set at a score of 630, when the median for this years score increased to a score of 640.

There are numerous cases this year where BDS applicants under the HSFY General Category have not been offered to interview with meeting the Verbal Reasoning threshold of 22nd percentile, but have achieved a Decision-Making score of precisely 630, thus not correlating with the apparent Decision-Making threshold of '630'.

I would appreciate clarification of this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Mar
