Dear Aimie Vijo,
Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the
Act”)
Further to your recent request for information held by King’s College
London, I am writing to confirm that the requested information is held in
part by the university.
Your request
We received your information request on 23^rd September 2024 and have
treated it as a request for information made under section 1(1) of the
Act.
You requested the following information:
UCAT test statistics for the 2023 and 2024 entry dentistry applicants at King's College London.
Specifically, I would like to request the following data:
1. The lowest, average, and highest UCAT scores for applicants who were invited to interview for the 2023 and 2024 entry.
2. The lowest, average, and highest UCAT scores for applicants who were given an offer to study Dentistry for the 2023 and 2024 entry.
3. A breakdown of the above data for both contextual and non-contextual applicants for the 2023 and 2024 entry.
Our response
The information will be reasonability accessible through the University’s
website within the next 12 months. The information has therefore been
withheld under Section 22 of the (‘future publication’).
As the University is in the process of making the requested dataset
available, it is not in the public interest to bypass this solely to
comply with your request as this would require public resources to be
diverted from other Admissions activities which benefit the public more;
such as supporting current and prospective students through the
application process.
Please check the King’s website for updates: [1]https://www.kcl.ac.uk/
On this occasion then the university finds the public interest favours
withholding the information.
This completes the university’s response to your information request.
Your right to complain
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your
information request or feel that it has not been properly handled you have
the right to complain or request a review of our decision by contacting
the Director of Information Governance & Data Protection Officer within 60
days of the date of this letter.
Further information about our internal complaints procedure is available
at the link below:

In the event that you are not content with the outcome of your complaint
you may apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally,
the Information Commissioner cannot make a decision unless you have
exhausted the internal complaints procedure provided by King’s College
London.
The Information Commissioner can be contacted at the following address:
