Dear Ms Collins,
Your request was received on 31 January 2018 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’).
You asked:
Please provide for each candidate, identified by name or, if your institution seeks to apply an
exemption under s 40 of the act, a unique randomly generated number:--
i. GCSE results presented as a string (where GCSE results are absent, please provide an
explanation, for example, “International”/”Not on Personal Statement”, etc.
ii. Interview test score
iii. Pre-interview or at-interview test score
iv. The local authority of residence (defined as either the second tier where two-tiered local
government exists or the single tier in a unitary area)
v. Achieved GCE grades or other (UMS desirable)
vi. Predicted A-level grades or other, as provided by each applicant, inclusion or exclusion of
unaccepted GCEs, i.e. ‘General Studies, is irrelevant for the purposes of this request and is left
at your discretion.
The University has recently responded to a similar request and the data is available online at:
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/mml_statistics#incoming-1103894. Information about
interviews is not held; all interview processes for entry to undergraduate degree courses at the
University are set and managed locally by each of the individual Colleges, each of which is a separate
legal entity and public authority under the Act.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request an internal review of this decision, you should write to Dr Kirsty Allen, Head of the
Registrary’s Office, quoting the reference above, at The Old Schools, Trinity Lane, Cambridge, CB2

expect to receive your request for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this letter and
reserves the right not to review a decision where there has been undue delay in raising a complaint. If
you are not content with the outcome of your review, you may apply directly to the Information
Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the Information Commissioner cannot make a decision unless
you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by the University. The Information
Commissioner may be contacted at: The Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water

Yours sincerely,
