From: Ambers Dean
Dear University of Otago,
We are a group of graduate students looking to apply into medicine this year, and we were wondering if you could provide some information on the following questions:
1. We were curious if the university priotises R3 areas over R1 in the rural category?
2. Could you confirm if a five year attendance at Pembroke School, Oamaru (Harlech Street, Oamaru), is eligible under the rural category in 2024/2025.
3. If we are not eligible under the rural category, do we find out a fews days after we have submitted the application?
Yours faithfully,
D A
