Dear University of Otago,

I am writing to request information regarding slots, admissions and applications to the clinical psychology program. Please provide broken down by year and averages for the past 10 years the following statistics.

1) How many applications are received for the program.
2) How many spaces are available for the program.
3) Of the applicants and confirmed students, how many were of a Māori background.
4) Of the applicants and confirmed students, how many were of a Pacifica background.
5) Of both the applicants and confirmed students, how many identified as male, how many identified as female and how many were gender diverse.
6) Of the applicants and confirmed students, how many held a postgraduate degree.
6A) Of the students who held a postgraduate degree, what was that degree.
7) Of the applicants and confirmed students, how many had applied for the program before.
8) Does the selection process consider demographics for admissions, if so, which aspects and to what extent.

I understand that given the size of the program, some of this could be considered identifying, and if that is the case for any of this information, please provided the aggregated statistics instead.

Yours faithfully,
LC
