Rural Origins Sub-Category boundaries for MB ChB
James made this Official Information request to University of Otago
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for James to read recent responses and update the status.
From: James
Dear University of Otago,
Could you please confirm if attendance at two different rural schools summing to 4 years would still meet the Rural Origins guidelines of having undertaken "a minimum of four years of their pre-tertiary education at a school in a rural area of New Zealand"?
Also, as you cannot assess whether Tamahere Model Country School, 37 Devine Road, Tamahere 3283 and Waikato Montessori Education Centre, 267 Newell Road, Hillcrest, Hamilton 3283 would be eligible for rural entry into MB ChB in 2025, can you determine whether attendance at these schools would have been considered rural for rural entry into 2023 or 2024 MB ChB? As the rural eligibility criteria has already been put in place for those years.
Yours faithfully,
James
