Dear Sydney M,

 

Having conducted a search of the College’s records, we can confirm that it
does hold information relevant to your request. Please find this
information below.

 

  Applications Interviews Offers
2018/9 45 14 12
2019/0 27 16 15
2020/1 35 19 16
2021/2 40 21 21
2022/3 50 24 18

 

In answer to question 4, we are unable to provide this for two reasons.
Firstly, not all of our applicants from America and Canada study
qualifications that are graded on a 100 scale, many take qualifications
such as the International Baccalaureate or Advanced Placements which have
a different grading system, and we are not in a position to convert this.
We also only retain the results where we require a specific grade/score as
a part of our entry requirement, therefore for both the Canadian and
American High School Diplomas, we only record an overall pass result and
not specific percentages obtained in the overall qualification.
