nrecman,

Dear Tyler,

Thank you for your recent request for information. The Medical School at Newcastle University do not look at GCSE results as part of the screening process for entry to the A100 Medicine course and as a result this information is not used and not held in a searchable database. Whilst I can confirm that the University does hold this information, to locate, retrieve, and extract it would exceed 18 hours, and therefore the appropriate limit of £450, calculated at a rate of £25 per hour as set out in the applicable Fees Regulations. As such, we are applying the exemption at Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act (2000).

I hope that this is of use. If you are unhappy with the way we have handled your request you can ask for an internal review. Details of how to do this can be found at: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/foi/access/complain...

If you are not happy with the outcome of the internal review, you then have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner's Office for a decision. Details of how to do this can be found at: http://ico.org.uk/concerns

Yours sincerely,
