- More demanding requirements
- Why this group?
- Multiple substantive preparation and/or selective assessment conditions are described in the reviewed requirements. This is an editorial planning category, not an acceptance-rate estimate.
Planning groups describe the published entry and selection requirements. They are not acceptance rates, university rankings, or a prediction of admission. Open admission still requires a recognised qualification and all stated conditions.
