HSFY Entry Requirements for 2026: MBChB (Medicine) and BDS (Dentistry)
Steve made this Official Information request to University of Otago
The request was partially successful.
From: Steve
Dear University of Otago,
I am requesting a breakdown of the range of academic scores of applicants to receive an offer of admission to the 2026 MBChB and BDS programmes via the HSFY category. This request is made cognizant of the waitlist closing now.
If possible, could you please also include the data for 2022-2025.
I would like a breakdown of the minimum and maximum scores for each pathway (e.g. General, Rural, International, etc.) I would also like to request both first-round offers and waitlist offers to be included here.
Yours faithfully,
Steve
