Admission to the Bachelor of Science (Honours) Programme

Red4555 made this Official Information request to University of Otago

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Red4555 to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Red4555

Dear University of Otago,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to respectfully request information regarding the academic performance of students who were accepted into the Bachelor of Science Honours programme at the University of Otago from 2022 to 2025.

Specifically, I am seeking anonymised data on the grades achieved in 300-level papers by those students who were successfully admitted into the Honours programme. This information will greatly assist me in understanding the academic standard typically required for acceptance.

If possible, I would appreciate details such as:

The average or minimum grades in 300-level papers of admitted students

Any grade distribution or GPA trends over the years 2022 to 2025

Whether any particular papers or grade thresholds were common among successful applicants

Yours faithfully,
University Student
