The request was partially successful.
From: Paul
Dear University of Auckland,
I was wondering about the median and minimum Gpa, mmi score and other stats for those who got into MBChB and Bachelor of Pharmacy in 2025.
Id like to compare this with other special pathways, such as rural. Thank you!
Yours faithfully,
Paul
