Question regarding entry to MBCHB
Vivian made this Official Information request to University of Otago
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Vivian to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Vivian
Dear University of Otago,
I was wondering whether the previous statistic years for entry into MBCHB of an average median GPA score of 90-99 for a non-waitlist offer for admission, means that anyone who has a gpa between these ranges will be guaranteed an entry? Or is this dependent on the cohort, and does only a certain number of applicants get selected each year? Etc. If 2026 entry has more than 200 applicants between the average median gpa range between 90-99 will they all be offered an entry, or will the cut score increase to etc 94-99.
Yours faithfully, Emily Jones
