Med Entry Decile Data

JS made this Official Information request to University of Otago

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for JS to read recent responses and update the status.

From: JS

Dear University of Otago,

Would you please be able to provide data from 2015 to 2022 for successful entrants into the MBChB degree, with each cohort broken down into decile categories (eg 1 to 10) where this is available?

E.g. a table for each year with one column for school decile, and a corresponding column for total number of students in that decile that got into medical school (I understand you will have to use <5 when the number is lower than 5), broken down by year.

If data is available beyond 2022 (deciles were removed by the Labour gov then), can you please provide this.

For 2021/22 specifically can you please provide the decile breakdown by entrance pathway eg Māori, Pacific, Socioeconomic, Postgraduate, Alternative, HSFY.

Yours faithfully,

JS
