Dear Maximiliano,

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated
11^th June 2020. 

I'm looking for information on entry grades limited to one particular
discipline which is medicine and would be great to know a list of grades
and scores and if they were successful.

Please release an excel sheet, summarising the average scores and average
successful scores of applicants on UCAT test  and 9s at GCSE for
successful applicants for the past three cycles.

If averages are unavailable anonymised raw data with the columns '9s at
GCSE', 'UCAT Score' and 'Successful/Unsuccessful' would be appreciated.

Please see below tale:

Average UCAT Score for Average UCAT score for those
  all applicants made offers
2017 1917 2006
2018 2567 2674
2019 2493 2589

Please note the UCAT score has no impact on whether an applicant is called
for interview or given an offer.

We do not record anywhere how many 9s at GCSE applicants have so we would
have to go back through thousands of individual records to retrieve this
information . The time involved in searching for and providing the
information you have requested would exceed the time limit (18 hours)
allowed under the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate
Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004.  Accordingly section 12(2) of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 will apply.

·         For information regarding the admissions process on GCSE grades,
please refer to the following website where you will find a copy of our
brochure (bottom right of the following webpage,) Admissions Policy for
Undergraduate Programmes in Medicine including the minimum GCSE
requirements:

I trust this information satisfies your enquiry.  The University has a
Freedom of Information Complaints Procedure should you feel dissatisfied
with this response or the way in which your request was handled.
Complaints must be made in writing and must set out why you believe the
University has not met its obligations under the Freedom of Information
Act.  You may email your complaint to [2][email address] where
it will be forwarded to the Head of Assurance Services who will be
responsible for overseeing the review.

If you remain dissatisfied following the outcome of your complaint, you
have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for
consideration.  The Information Commissioner can be contacted at the
following address: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House,
Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
Cardiff University. If you require further assistance please feel free to
contact me.

Yours sincerely
