Dear UoO - Official Information Act,
I am currently second year doing a bachelor of sciences and looking to apply to medicine through the graduate pathway. When I applied for the rural equity group last year I was denied and I tried to appeal but did not receive a response. On the GCH map morrinsville is rural, and the college is rural so Im asking for my future application what are the requirements since you consider each applicants circumstances individually. The link you provided does not work.
Yours sincerely,
Ahmed AL-Suleiman
