Student fails in Supreme Court bid to get into University of Auckland medical school

A woman who attempted to appeal to New Zealand’s highest court to gain admission to medical school has failed in her bid, Stuff reports. Kelly Alexandra Roe applied for admission to the University of Auckland’s bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery (MBChB) in 2019 and 2020, but was denied both times. Roe bought legal action against the university but failed at both the High Court and Court of Appeal. She also claimed the university did not have the right to set minimum academic standards for admission or entry requirement to domestic students 20 or older.
