Dear Tyler

 

Thank you for your email.

 

The University of Edinburgh Medical School is renowned for preparing its
students to be world class doctors. The MBChB programme curriculum aims to
ensure that our graduates are caring, competent, confident and reflective
practitioners, and are able to function at the highest level in academic,
hospital or community settings. Further information about the MBChB
([1]https://www.ed.ac.uk/medicine-vet-medici...)
is published on the website.

 

As intimated in our previous email we do not report on or record the types
of qualifications our applicants apply nor the grades they have achieved. 
To produce this information we would have to research each of our offer
holders individual application records to seek those who applied with
GCSEs and then record each of their final grades.  This would involve
researching over 500 application records taking from a one to three
minutes per record.  Doing so would cost more than £100, the limit over
which the University is able to charge a fee for responding to requests. 
The level of the fee is set by legislation, and is set at 10% of any cost
over £100, to a maximum of £50. Please let me know if you would like this
charge to be calculated. The basis on which we calculate the cost of
responding to freedom of information requests is set out in the freedom of
information charging information
([2]https://www.ed.ac.uk/records-management/...)
on our website.

 

Right to review

If you are dissatisfied with this response, you may ask the University to
conduct a review of this decision by contacting  the University's Records
Management Section ([3]www.ed.ac.uk/records-management/about/contact) in
writing (e.g. by letter or email) or in some other recorded form (e.g.
audio or video tape).  You should describe the original request, explain
your grounds for dissatisfaction, and include an address for
correspondence.  You have 40 working days from receipt of this letter to
submit a review request.  When the review process has been completed, if
you are still dissatisfied, you may use the Scottish Information
Commissioner’s guidance on making an appeal
([4]http://www.itspublicknowledge.info/YourR...)
to make an appeal to the Commissioner.  If you do not have access to the
Internet, please let me know and I will provide a copy of the relevant web
pages.
