Additionally, i would like to know how many individals were offered a position into the Bds waitlist for each of these years including only the graduate, alternate and FYHS applicants, excluding sub-catagories.
finally, i would like to know how many individuals were offered a position in Bds from the waitlist for each of these years including only the graduate, alternate and FYHS applicants, excluding sub-catagories.
I understand that for 2024 this number would still be changing as the application outcomes had only occured recently so this information may be provided later, once the waitlist numbers are confirmed

I refer to your information request dated 18 December 2024 made under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act). You have requested information in relation to admission to the University of Otago's Bachelor of Dental Surgery programme via the Health Sciences First Year, Graduate, and Alternative categories.
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the date your request was received. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit. We are therefore writing to notify you, pursuant to section 15A of the Act, of an extension of the time to make our decision in respect of your request, by a further 10 working days - to Friday 21 February 2025.
This extension is necessary to allow for consultations necessary to make a decision on your request. We thank you for your patience - we will endeavour to provide our response sooner if possible.
If you are not satisfied with our extension of time, you have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the Act. However, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss any concerns with you first.
