Dear University of Otago,

Could you please confirm whether Wakefield Primary School, 66 Edward Street, Wakefield 7025, would have been considered under the for rural category entry into 2025 MB ChB?

According to the GCH map, the school appears to fall under U2 classification. However, I attended Wakefield Primary School from 2008 to 2014 and would like to confirm whether the school was classified as rural during that time period.

If so, would attendance at Wakefield school during those years have met the eligibility criteria for the Rural Origins sub-category for entry into the 2025 MB ChB programme?

Yours faithfully,

Mana
