Admissions to BSMS

The request was successful.

Dear Brighton and Sussex Medical School

Under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act, I kindly request some raw data from you regarding A100 applications for the latest available admissions cycle and the one preceding that.

The data I would like is all in regards to the 2011/2012 admissions cycle and is as follows:

1) For each applicant who was unsuccessful in obtaining an
interview, can I get a list of their UKCAT score
how they were allocated the UCAS Tariff points (ie by music
qualifications or A Levels)?
2)For each applicant who was successful in obtaining an interview, can I get a list of their UKCAT score and their predicted UCAS tariff including the subjects that were studied and how they were allocated the UCAS Tariff points (ie by music qualifications or A Levels)?
3) Can I get a list of criteria that the interviewers looked at
during the interview to determine a candidates suitability?
4) How was the interview scored? Was it a score out of 10 by each interviewer or anything along those lines?
5) For each applicant who was successful in obtaining an offer, can I get a list of their UKCAT score and their predicted UCAS tariff including the subjects that were studied and how they were allocated the UCAS Tariff points (ie by music qualifications or A Levels)as well as their score in the interview stage?
6) Can I get the UKCAT and UCAS tariff cut off as well?
7) I would also like any scoring or grading system used to assess interview performance and if a form or such is provided to interviewers to record performance is available I would also kindly request this. This specific request is for this years admission cycle, ie 2012/2013 as well as last year.

I'd like all of this information if possible to be in a spreadsheet or word format if possible. Thank you very much

Yours faithfully,

Louise Clifford
