Dear Mr Kothari,

We would need some clarification please.

What is meant by international (is it anyone from outside the EU or is it anyone from outside the UK)?

Does Indian mean anyone whose home domicile is India (or is it referring to nationality)?

Kind regards

Dear Mr Kothari,

We have completed the compilation of information in response to your
request.

We can confirm that we do hold information of the description specified in
your request.

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act
2000. Please could you provide information on the following questions for
A100 entry:

Clarification: By international I mean Outside of UK &EU and by Indian I
mean persons whose home domicile is India.

Q1.How many International applications were received for 2018 and 2019
entry for A100 program?

A1) 2018:     1101

       2019:     1023

Q2. How many International applications were interviewed for 2018 and 2019
entry for A100 program?

A2) 2018:     113

       2019:     105

Q3. How many International applications received an offer for 2018 and
2019 entry for A100 program?

ii) 2018:     <5

As you can see, exact counts of five or less have been withheld because
these are personal data of third parties or, if linked with other personal
identifiers in the public domain, would be likely to become personal data.
This information has been withheld under section 40(2) of the FOIA by
virtue of s40 (3)(a)(i).

Section 40(2) of the FOIA allows a public authority to withhold
information under the FOIA where (i) the requested information is personal
data relating to someone other than the requester and (ii) its disclosure
would breach any of the data protection principles. In this case we
believe that the requested information could relate to third parties i.e.
the family members of the deceased and would be considered as their
personal data. The disclosure of this personal data would not be within
the reasonable expectations of the individuals concerned and it would be
unfair to do so; this therefore breaches the first data protection
principle.

It is for these reasons that this information is exempt under section
40(2) of the Act.

Q5. What are the average BMAT scores for  International applicants for
2018 and 2019 entry for A100 program?

A5) 2018:      Section 1: 4.5

                       Section 2: 4.9

                       Section 3: 3.3 A

      2019:       Section 1: 4.4

                       Section 2: 4.9

                       Section 3: 3.2 A
