Dear Dr Bolarinwa,
Thank you for your email requesting information about the University of Warwick. Your request is being considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
In order to process your request it will be necessary to receive some additional information from you to ensure that we understand your request correctly.
Please can you confirm what you mean by "average"? Does this mean arithmetic mean, ie splitting the number of A*s by the number of candidates, or by the number of candidates who took at least one A-level, or a calculation which gauges the number of A*s per entry, or something else?
I look forward to hearing from you. The University will be unable to proceed with your request until you have provided the requested clarification.
Kind regards,
Laura

Dear infocompliance, Resource,
By "average" I mean splitting the number of A*s by applicants that took at least 1 A level. If this information cannot be obtained please use whichever method of gauging the mean that is available. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
David Bolarinwa
