Dear Khabib,

 

I refer to your request of 21 January 2025.  The University’s response
follows.

 

‘I am requesting the following admissions data for entrance into the MBChB
program in 2026 (the latest cohort):
[1] The total number of applicants, split by entrance category (GRAD / FY)
and entrance scheme (General / MAPAS / RRAS / UTAS / International).
[2] The number of applicants invited to an interview, split by entrance
category (GRAD / FY) and entrance scheme (General / MAPAS / RRAS / UTAS /
International).

The information requested is publicly available on the University's
website:
[1]https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/fmhs/study...
This part of your request is refused under section 18(d) of the OIA.

[3] The number of applicants who attended an interview, split by entrance
category (GRAD / FY) and entrance scheme (General / MAPAS / RRAS / UTAS /
International).’
The information requested is publicly available here:
[2]https://fyi.org.nz/request/32628-mbchb-2...
This part of your request is refused under section 18(d) of the OIA.

 

‘[4] The median GPA, UCAT, MMI score, and final rank score of successful
applicants, split by entrance category (GRAD / FY) and entrance scheme
(General / MAPAS / RRAS / UTAS / International).
[5] The highest GPA, UCAT, MMI score, and final ranked admission score of
successful applicants, split by entrance category (GRAD / FY) and entrance
scheme (General / MAPAS / RRAS / UTAS / International).
[6] The lowest GPA, UCAT, MMI score, and final rank score of successful
applicants, split by entrance category (GRAD / FY) and entrance scheme
(General / MAPAS / RRAS / UTAS / International).
[7] The median GPA, UCAT, MMI score, and final ranked admission score of
unsuccessful applicants, split by entrance category (GRAD / FY) and
entrance scheme (General / MAPAS / RRAS / UTAS / International).
[8] The highest GPA, UCAT, MMI score, and final ranked admission score of
unsuccessful applicants, split by entrance category (GRAD / FY) and
entrance scheme (General / MAPAS / RRAS / UTAS / International).’
The current admissions cycle is not yet complete.  This part of your
request is refused under s 18(g) of the Act, as the information requested
is not held by the University.  Note that, after the admissions process is
completed, we would not provide UCAT score data as this is necessary to
protect information subject to an obligation of confidence.

 

You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this response.

 

Yours sincerely,

Farleigh Quinlivan
