Dear Mr Patel
Further to our email to you of 16 December 2020 with our response to your
information request of 19 November 2020, it has come to my attention that
some of the data that I provided to you may have been ambiguous. To
clarify, the academic scores relating to the waitlist in my initial
response (see item 2) reflect the lowest score for being placed on the
waitlist, rather than the lowest scores for an offer of a place in the MB
ChB programme or BDS programme off the waitlist. Lowest scores for offers
from the waitlist are provided as follows:
MBCHB Programme (HSFY General Entry only)
2020 - 92.71
2019 - 80.96
2018 - 79.87
2017 - 80.11
2016 - 78.83
BDS Programme
2020 - 88.29
2019 - 87.71
2018 - 83.86
2017 - 87.14
2016 - 86.57
