Overview

• Labour’s Peter Prinsley and Lib Dem education spokesperson Munira Wilson called on Kemi Badenoch to set out the specifics of the alleged offer she says she received at 16.
• Badenoch reiterated that she received offers based on strong SAT results and recalled receiving letters, but she said she no longer has the documents from 30 years ago.
• Former Stanford admissions officer Jon Reider, who handled international admissions and bursaries at the time, said he did not offer Badenoch a place or aid and would have remembered doing so.
• Reider and other U.S. admissions experts told reporters that Stanford would not extend admission on test scores alone and that need-based aid for admitted students would be full rather than partial.
• Stanford confirms there is no undergraduate pre-med major and medicine is a graduate program, a structure that several academics said makes Badenoch’s described pathway implausible.
