Dear FOI,
Thank you so much for your response and the data!
I do have two questions about the dataset.
1. If there were less than three shortlisted candidates for St Catherine's out of the 11, how come there were 4 offers?
2. Why are the majority of the TSA Section 1 scores marked as under three, is there a way to showcase this data as well?
Yours sincerely,
Noah.
Dear FOI,
May I receive a response to the question above regarding concerns about the dataset?
Yours sincerely,
Noah.
Dear Noah
Thank you for your email.
With regards the first question, the extra offer may have been due to a candidate who did an "open application" so who didn’t apply directly to St Catherine's, but was offered a place at this college.
If the TSA scores were averaged from less than 3 candidates we are unable to share this data. Please refer to the Section 40 exemption in the response letter.
