The total number of applicants who accepted their offers, and the acceptance rate.

How many applicants were waitlisted or had their offers deferred (if applicable).

How many students enrolled in Health Sciences First Year (HSFY) in 2026 identify as being from a refugee background.

Yours faithfully,
