A100 Medicine Statistics

We're waiting for Mr Holland to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Imperial College London,

My request is regarding statistics for the A100 medicine course. All requests are for the 2018/2019 cycle. If data for the 2018/2019 cycle is not possible, I would like it for the 2017/2018 cycle. Many thanks.

Please can I have the following anonymised data about the candidates who applied:

1. For each applicant, can I know their A-level predicted grades, GCSE grades, UKCAT score, BMAT score, whether they were successful in getting an interview and whether they were successful in getting a place?
2. For each applicant, can I also know whether they were home or international (if so whether they were an EU citizen)
3. Please can I know what type of school the applicant went to (independent, maintained, grammar, academy or boarding)?
4. Please could I have a breakdown of their UKCAT and BMAT scores by section
5. How their PS and interview performance was graded or scored
6. Whether they were on a gap year or taking a deferred place

Please can I have all this data in an Excel or at least machine-readable format.

Yours faithfully,

Mr Holland

Dear Mr Holland, 

 

Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. Please find
below the College's response to your questions.

 

My request is regarding statistics for the A100 medicine course. All
requests are for the 2018/2019 cycle. If data for the 2018/2019 cycle is
not possible, I would like it for the 2017/2018 cycle. Many thanks.

Please can I have the following anonymised data about the candidates who
applied:

1.      For each applicant, can I know their A-level predicted grades,
GCSE grades, UKCAT score, BMAT score, whether they were successful in
getting an interview and whether they were successful in getting a place?
2.      For each applicant, can I also know whether they were home or
international (if so whether they were an EU citizen)
3.      Please can I know what type of school the applicant went to
(independent, maintained, grammar, academy or boarding)?
4.      Please could I have a breakdown of their UKCAT and BMAT scores by
section
5.      How their PS and interview performance was graded or scored
6.      Whether they were on a gap year or taking a deferred place

 

You can find information about the selection process including the
criteria used when selecting applicants for interview on the College
Website:
[1]https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/ug/cour....
Please also find attached a copy of the interview mark sheet.

 

We cannot provide the remainder of the information that you have requested
because it relates to individuals.

 

Information is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information
Act, Section 40(2), if it is personal data and releasing the information
would breach one of the data protection principles contained in the Data
Protection Act 2018/General Data Protection Regulations. 

 

Statistical information can amount to personal information if it would be
possible to identify the individual from that information or from that
information and other information that may be available to the recipient
of the information. 

 

The first data protection principle requires us to be fair in the way we
handle a person’s information. It would not be regarded as fair to
disclose information that the individual would not reasonably expect to be
made public. Our applicants would not expect the information that they
have given us for admissions purposes to be made available to the public.
This is a refusal notice in relation to the personal information aspect of
your request as required by the Freedom of Information Act.

 

If you are unhappy with the way that we have handled your request, you can
ask us to conduct a review. Please make your representation in writing
within 40 days of the date you received this response. If you remain
dissatisfied with how Imperial College has handled your request you may
then approach the Information Commissioner’s Office. 
 
Kind regards,
 
Freedom of Information Team
Imperial College London
