Dear Ella,

 

I refer to your email of 3 July. Requests under the Official Information

(b) permanent residents of New Zealand; (c) persons who are in New

The University has received 21 other similarly worded requests concerning
MBChB entrance statistics over the past year, including five requests so
far this month. Section 18A(2) of the Official Information Act specifies
that, for the purposes of refusing requests under section 18(f) of the

the same person that are about the same subject matter or about similar
subject matters and received in short succession.  If you do make an
official information request, please advise the following to enable the
University to make a decision on your request:

 

•            advise whether your request for official information was
