Admission statistics for 2016/7

The request was successful.

Dear University of St Andrews,

I would like to request an undergraduate admissions breakdown report for the 2017 admissions cycle similar in style to the report that was produced in response to the following FOI request in 2015 (https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/b...). Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
Sean Gordon

Dear University of St Andrews,

I apologise, it appears the hyperlink I appended to my previous message was faulty. The correct hyperlink to the FOI request made in 2015 is as follows (https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/b... ).

Many thanks,

Sean Gordon

Dear Mr Gordon,

Many thanks for your request for information under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA). Unfortunately, I am unable to take forward your enquiry at this time.

For a request to be valid under section 8(1) of the FOISA, it should describe the information being requested and be in a permanent form capable to being used for subsequent reference. The way you have framed your enquiry, providing a link to data available on the website to demonstrate the level of information you seek does not meet this requirement as it can be taken down at any time.

I would therefore be grateful if you could set out the information you are looking to be provided with in more detail and on receipt of a refined request for information this will be taken forward.

I await hearing from you and in the meantime your enquiry will be held pending.

Yours sincerely,

June

Dear Ms. Weir,

I would like to request data regarding the previous undergraduate application cycles for entry from 2015 through to 2018. I understand that since the 2018 application cycle is currently underway, some of the respective data will be incomplete so I ask you to leave statistics requiring any data that you cannot retrieve blank. I would like the data to be separated by each subject (with a total at the bottom of the document) and separated into the following columns:

1. The number of offers made to applicants.
2. The number of students (of those in #1) who selected the University of St Andrews as their firm choice.
3. The number of students (of those in #2) who selected the University of St Andrews as their insurance choice.
4. The number of students (of those in #2 and #3) who enrolled at the University of St Andrews.
5. The number of students who enrolled at the University of St Andrews via means not covered in #4 (i.e. via adjustment or clearing).

Many thanks,
Sean Gordon
