University of Otago Dentistry selection Criteria

From: B Mathewson
Dear University of Otago Dentistry Admissions,
I am writing to enquire about the selection criteria for graduate general category applicants to receive an invitation to interview, in specific reference to the calculation of GPA. I understand the lowest GPA in the graduate general category with confirmed results was 7.0. The minimum GPA to receive an interview for pending academic results in the graduate general category is 6.5.
How is the weighted GPA calculated for both pending and confirmed results?
Please comment on the appropriateness of this calculation and the disadvantage posed to those whose degrees contain mostly full-year, high-point, papers. In my experience, my GPA is above both of the above figures, you can understand my confusion and disappointment.
Yours faithfully,
B
