Dear Michael Stafford

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated 4
September 2021.

For ease of reference, I have reproduced your question(s) below and set
out our corresponding response(s).

I am writing to kindly request the following information regarding
admissions to Undergraduate Dentistry (A200) in the following years; 2018,
2019 and 2020 and 2021 (if available) for school leavers.

For each of the years can you clarify the number of applicants, number of
applicants called for interview, the number of offers made

Can you clarify how each of the elements of the selection process are
weighted to arrive at an offer of an interview GCSE results Predicted
grades UCAT score personal statement

The highest, lowest or threshold UCAT score for undergraduate applicants
to Dentistry A200 at Cardiff University , who were subsequently invited to
interview for each of the requested years.

Did you consider situational judgement score?

Under the Freedom of Information legislation, our first responsibility is
to confirm whether we hold the information requested.  We can confirm
that  whilst the University holds information about applications to the
A100 medicine course, it does not however hold data in a way in which it
can distinguish “School leavers” from those applications. As such we are
unable to provide the information requested.

I trust this information satisfies your enquiry. Should you feel
dissatisfied with this response or the way in which your request was
handled you can request an Internal Review. This should be made in writing
within 40 working days of the date of this email. Please provide your
unique reference number of your request, information on why you are
dissatisfied and any detail you would like us to consider as part of the
Internal Review process. Email your request to
[1][email address] where it will be forwarded to the Head of
Compliance and Risk 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.

Kind regards
