Currently waiting for a response from University of Otago, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: H Lee

Dear University of Otago,

Until a few years ago, the rank score was used to determine entry into Medicine at Otago University.

I would like to request the following:

1. Top 10 rank scores for the 2017 HSFY cohort that applied for the 2018 medical school intake. If the 10th highest rank score is higher than the rank score of 88.5, then please include more rank scores until 88.5 is included.
2. If possible, please also provide the UMAT score and HSFY grade average that made up their rank score.
3. The lowest rank score that got into medicine for this cohort.

Thank you in advance.

Yours faithfully,
H Lee

Tēnā koe H Lee

I refer to your Official Information Act request dated 5 October 2024.

Would it be possible to please clarify your request? You have requested information about the rank scores achieved by entrants to the MB ChB programme in 2017. Are you interested in the HSFY General category only? Alternatively, if there is something else you are interested in, it would be appreciated if you could please clarify this for us.

We will wait to hear back from you before we continue to process your request.

Dear UoO - Official Information Act,

I would like the top 10 rank scores, down to and including the score of 88.5, achieved in 2017 HSFY by entrants to medicine regardless of what HSFY subcategory they were in.

I would like to alter my original request in that I no longer request item 2 - the UMAT score and HSFY grade average that made up their rank scores for the above. I only request the rank scores.

For item 3, I would just like to know the minimum rank score that made it into medicine through the HSFY general subcategory.

Thank you for processing my request.

Yours sincerely,

H Lee
