MBCHB & BDS Admission Statistics 2026
Faye made this Official Information request to University of Otago
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Faye to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Faye
Dear University of Otago,
I am requesting for the minimum GPA to receive a non-waitlist offer into the BDS and MBChB programs for 2026, via the general graduate category, as well as all other subcategories, for the FIRST round offer, and the minimum GPA to receive a waitlist offer.
I would also like to know what the median & maximum GPA was to receive an offer into both BDS and MBChB for 2026 through the general graduate category.
I would also like to request for the number of specifically "general category" graduate offers that were made for BDS and MBChB for 2025, as well as the number of those spots that got accepted.
Yours faithfully,
Faye
