MMI reasoning
Mike T made this Official Information request to University of Auckland
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Mike T to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Mike T
Dear University of Auckland,
I would like to know the rational and the understanding of the decision making process for restricting of the MMI offers. Why was the GPA so much higher to previous years? Why did the admission office not restrict it to GPA 7+ and were any considerations made for graduates as they have held their GPA at high levels much longer that first year candidates who only have done 3 papers compared to a minimum of 24 papers as a graduate.
Yours faithfully,
Mike T

Dear Mike,
I refer to your request below. As consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a response cannot reasonably be given within the original time limit, the University has extended the time limit for your request until 17 October 2025 under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA. We will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable.
You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are dissatisfied with this extension.
Yours sincerely,
Landon Watt
