2. The minimum GPA score for all groups broken down into subcategories via postgraduate entrance, as well as split into waitlist and non-waitlist offers.
3. The total number of applications for all groups split into subcategories both via HSFY entrance and postgraduate entrance into both programmes.
4. The number of applicants to be awarded a spot from waitlist and non-waitlist and how many accepted their offer.
