Dear University of Cambridge,

If possible, could you please indicate beside Junior and Leaving Cert grades, BMAT scores etc. whether or not the applicant received an offer?

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Smithwick,

Thank you for your email. Due to the extremely limited numbers of offer-holders, it is not possible to add this information in a way that would prevent the risk of those individuals being identified. The University therefore has to engage the exemption at section 40(3A)(a) of the Act because the release of this additional data would breach the first data protection principle (the fair, lawful and transparent processing of personal data) as set out in the General Data Protection Regulation. This part of section 40 confers absolute exemption under the Act.

If you wish to request a review of our handling of your request, including this email, please follow the procedure outlined in our response letter.

Regards,
