Dear Mr. Boyland,

Please can you clarify what you mean by “Median number of A* predicted and actually achieved for applicants and those that received interviews and offers for each college”?

If it is A-levels, then please note that we do not have the results yet. They will arrive in the summer.

Kind regards,
Information Compliance Team

Dear University of Oxford,

Yes I mean A levels, but sorry I forgot that results are not achieved until summer. Could you replace that point with “Median number of A* predicted for applicants and those that received interviews and offers for each college”. Many thanks.

Yours faithfully,

Oliver Boyland

Dear UAS Foi,

By law, you should have responded to my request within 20 working days; 19th February. Thus, your reply is almost two weeks late, so I would like to request an interval review as to why I have not received a response.

Yours sincerely,

Oliver Boyland

Dear Mr Boyland

We apologise for the delay in responding to your Freedom of Information request. Increasing levels of workload in all areas of information compliance, including the need to plan for the introduction of new data protection legislation from 25 May 2018, have created pressures which have had an adverse effect on our ability to meet statutory deadlines. We hope to be able to respond to your request by 9 March 2018 and will contact you again should there be any risk of further slippage.

Kind regards
