Dear requester,

I refer to your request of 21 December 2025. 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 by 20 working days under section 15A(1)(b) of
the OIA.

 

The new maximum time limit for the University’s response is 10 March 2026;
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

The information requested in parts 2-8 and 14-18 of your request will soon
be made publicly available in a dashboard on the University's website,
which will be available through a link at the following webpage:
[2]Clinical Admissions Selection. We expect this dashboard to be made
available by 1 May 2026. This is subject to the following exclusion: where
the requested information about applicant performance relates to a low
number of applicants (<7), that information is withheld under section
9(2)(a) of the OIA to protect their privacy.

The information requested in part 19 of your request is publicly available
at:
[3]https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/about-us/a...

The information requested in parts 9-13 and 20-23 is withheld as
confidential under section 9(2)(ba)(i) and (ii) of the OIA.

Where this response states that the information requested is or will soon

section 18(d) of the OIA. You have the right to make a complaint to an
Ombudsman if you are dissatisfied with the University's response.

Dear Landon Watt,

In your email, you stated that the information requested in parts 2–8 and 14–18 would soon be made publicly available in a dashboard on the University’s website, and that this dashboard was expected to be available by 1 May 2026.

As it is now 21 May 2026, I have been unable to locate this dashboard or the requested information on the Clinical Admissions Selection webpage. I would therefore appreciate an update on when this information is expected to be published.

If the dashboard is already available, could you please provide the direct link to it.

Yours sincerely,

LowTaperFade
