Medicine application statistics

The request was partially successful.

Dear Emmanuel College, Cambridge,

I refer to your response to a previous FOI request: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/s...

May I know which candidates were successful or unsuccessful in getting an interview or an offer?

There also seems to be a difference in the number of applicants quoted in your excel sheet compared to the published application statistics for medicine as indicated here. 39 were quoted as compared to the 61 applicants for your 2015 cycle. Would there be a reason for this difference?

Thank you very much.

Yours faithfully,
Sam

Dear Sam,

Thank you for your email which contained a request for information under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act.

I am attaching a list of applicants in the previous format which also now indicates whether an applicant was invited for interview.

I have carefully considered your request to know which applicants received an offer. However, given the relatively small number of offers made, I consider that using this information it might be possible, when combined with the other information already supplied to you, to identify particular individuals. There would therefore be a risk of disclosing personal information and for that reason I cannot confirm to you which applicants received offers.

A number of applicants were taking non A-level exams or non-UMS A-levels. The data relating to these applicants was not relevant to the original request for information.

I am attaching a guidance note for those requesting information under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act.

Yours,

Mike Gross
