Admissions statistics history

The request was partially successful.

Catherine Collins

Dear Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge,

I am making a request regarding the statistics for History (V100) undergraduate applicants in the current cycle.

Please provide for each applicant the following data in a single table with one row per applicant (if applicants cannot be named, please use an anonymised candidate identification number for each candidate), and columns contain the following data:

*the applicant's score in section 1 of the History Admissions Assessment (HAA)
*the applicant's score in section 2 of the History Admissions Assessment (HAA)
* each interviewer's (eg. if there are two interviewers, then two columns) interview grade for the interviewee (1-10, with NA to indicate if no interview)
* a yes/no to indicate if offer was made

Yours faithfully,

Catherine Collins

Fitzwilliam College Bursar, Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge

Dear Ms Collins

Further to your Freedom of Information act of 16 May, I can tell you
that we are unable to release data at an individual level due to the
Data Protection Act and that we do not retain data for unsuccessful
applicants.

The attached data applies to successful applicants in History (V100) in
the current cycle. Scores for interviews have been averaged across 3
scores and HAA across two in order comply with the Data Protection Act.

If you are dissatisfied with the College's response you may seek an
internal review of the College's decision. If after that review you
remain dissatisfied you have the right to

Dear Fitzwilliam College Bursar,

Would it be possible to know how the average HAA scores were calculated? Using a mean average or weighted score, for example?
