Dear Muthu

 

I acknowledge receipt of your email/letter received by this office on 4th
September 2021.

 

Your request will now be dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act
2000 and has been allocated reference FOI21-352 which should be quoted in
all correspondence. We will respond to your request within 20 working days
starting the next working day after receipt, therefore you can expect to
receive a response no later than 1st October 2021.

 

Please note that in order to fulfill your request we need to liaise with
other teams across the University. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic most
staff are now working remotely and have intermittent access to information
held in hard copy. Staff may not be able to assist as they may need to
prioritise other work, cover for colleagues who are ill or be away from
work themselves due to illness. However, we will do our best to meet this
deadline and keep you informed should we be unable to do so. 

 

Where we consider that we will not be able to meet the deadline or if
further time is required to consider the public interest test we will
contact you as soon as possible and give you a revised date for response. 

 

In some circumstances a fee may be payable and, if that is the case, we
will let you know. A fees notice will be issued to you, and you will be
required to pay before we will proceed to deal with your request.

Yours sincerely 

  Ian Johnson

Dear Muthu 

 

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated 4^th
September 2021.   

 

For ease of reference, I have reproduced your question(s) below and set
out our corresponding response(s). 

 

1.    Number of applicants from UK School leavers (excluding contextual &
widening participating applicants) for A100 (for year of entry to medicine
2019/2020 and 2020/2021). 

 

2.    Number of interview invites to UK School leavers (excluding
contextual & widening participating applicants) for A100 (for year of
entry to medicine 2019/2020 and 2020/2021) 

 

3.    Number of offers given to UK School leavers (excluding contextual &
widening participating applicants) for A100 (for year of entry to medicine
2019/2020 and 2020/2021) 

 

 

4.    Number of offers accepted by UK School leavers (excluding contextual
& widening participating applicants) for A100 (for year of entry to
medicine 2019/2020 and 2020/2021) 

 

5.    The average UCAT score of UK School leavers that were invited for
interviews (excluding contextual & widening participating applicants) for
A100 (for year of entry to medicine 2019/2020 and 2020/2021) 

 

6.    If possible for the above Q5, please could you provide highest and
lowest UCAT scores. 

 

Under the Freedom of Information legislation, our first responsibility is
to confirm whether we hold the information requested.  We can confirm that
whilst the University holds information about applications to the A100
medicine course, it does not however hold data in a way in which it can
distinguish “UK School leavers” from those applications. As such we are
unable to provide the information requested.   

 

I trust this information satisfies your enquiry.  Should you feel
dissatisfied with this response or the way in which your request was
handled you can request an Internal Review. This should be made in writing
within 40 working days of the date of this email. Please provide your
unique reference number of your request, information on why you are
dissatisfied and any detail you would like us to consider as part of the
Internal Review process. Email your request to
[1][email address] where it will be forwarded to the Head of
Compliance and Risk who will be responsible for overseeing the review. 

 

If you remain dissatisfied following the outcome, you have the right to
apply directly to the Information Commissioner for consideration.  The
Information Commissioner can be contacted at the following address:
Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow,
Cheshire, SK9 5AF.  

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
Cardiff University. If you require further assistance please feel free to
contact me.  

 

Yours sincerely
