Admissions data for the Undergraduate Economics and Philosophy Course (LV15)
Dear University of St Andrews,
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I am requesting admissions data for the Economics and Philosophy MA (Hons) programme (course code: LV15) for the past three application cycles (2022/23, 2023/24, and 2024/25). Specifically:
1. What percentage of applicants who received offers had Mathematics A-level?
2. What is the distribution of GCSE Mathematics grades (e.g., 9, 8, 7) among admitted students?
3. For applicants who applied after a gap year, what was the offer rate compared to those applying directly after A-levels?
4. What were the specific A-level subjects studied by each applicant who received an offer? If this is not feasible, please provide either a list of all A-level subjects among successful offer holders or a percentage breakdown of the most common subjects.
5. What is the average predicted A-level grade profile of applicants who received offers (e.g., AAA, AAB)?
If possible, please provide the data in a tabulated format.
Thank you for your assistance.
Yours faithfully,
Charles Reiss
