Admissions to St George's Medical School

The request was successful.

Dear St George's Medical School

Under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act, I kindly request some raw data from you regarding A100 applications for the latest available admissions cycle and the one preceding that.

The data I would like is all in regards to the 2011/2012 admissions cycle and is as follows:

1) For each applicant who was unsuccessful in obtaining an
interview, can I get a list of their UKCAT score
how they were allocated the UCAS Tariff points (ie by music
qualifications or A Levels)?

2)For each applicant who was successful in obtaining an interview, can I get a list of their UKCAT score and their predicted UCAS tariff including the subjects that were studied and how they were allocated the UCAS Tariff points (ie by music qualifications or A Levels)?

3) Can I get a list of criteria that the interviewers looked at during the interview to determine a candidates suitability?

4) How was the interview scored? Was it a score out of 10 by each interviewer or anything along those lines?

5) For each applicant who was successful in obtaining an offer, can I get a list of their UKCAT score and their predicted UCAS tariff including the subjects that were studied and how they were allocated the UCAS Tariff points (ie by music qualifications or A Levels)as well as their score in the interview stage?

6) Can I get the UKCAT and UCAS tariff cut off as well?

7) I would also like any scoring or grading system used to assess interview performance and if a form or such is provided to interviewers to record performance is available I would also kindly request this. This specific request is for this years admission cycle, ie 2012/2013 as well as last year.

I'd like all of this information if possible to be in a spreadsheet or word format if possible. Thank you very much

Yours faithfully,

Louise Clifford

Dear Louise,

I write to apologise for the delay with your response for information
regarding admissions.

We do not use UCAS tariff to assess or select students so there is very
little data to share with you.  We are currently examining our data held,
hoping to find something that may be helpful to you.

Once again I apologise for the delay and our response will be with you as
soon as possible.

With best wishes.

We do not use UCAS Tariff to assess or select students. We do not record
any of this data - for example, A-levelsubjects studied with UKCAT score.

Dear Sheila,

Many thanks. If I could have the information related to the UKCAT scores only, and the interview criteria and scoring that would be very useful instead.

Many thanks

Yours sincerely,

Louise

Dear Sheila Durkin,

Many thanks for your reply, and for the attached information. It was very helpful but there were a few things outstanding which I wonder if you could help me with:

1. The UKCAT scores you provided were for 2009 and 2010, however I asked for those for 2011/12. Would it be possible to have these? There was also no indication of which candidates were successful or unsuccessful in terms of receiving an offer, nor the relevant cut off score - would it be possible for this information also to be supplied, with the 2011/12 figures?

2. There was no attached list of criteria during the interview to determine a candidates suitability. You did refer me to the website but did the interviewers have a specific document to refer to, and if so may I have it? Was there also a cut off score, as requested?

Yours sincerely,

Louise

St George's University of London

I am on leave today. If you need to speak to somebody urgently in my absence please telephone Susan Trubshaw on 020 8725 0585 or Derek Baldwinson on 020 8725 5996.

Dear St George’s University of London,

I would be grateful if this could be addressed soon. Many thanks.

Yours faithfully,

Dear St George’s University of London,

This FOI request is now well overdue. My request was placed on 10th October, almost 6 weeks ago, and there are still substantial parts of it that have not had a response or have only partially been addressed. I have also had no response from you to my last two emails asking for an update.

Please could I have the information I requested without any further delay.

Yours faithfully,

Louise
