TOKYO - A Tokyo medical university that altered entrance exam results to exclude women said on Wednesday (Nov 7) it would offer places to dozens of applicants unfairly denied. The institution's president said it would contact a total of 101 applicants - including 67 women - who took the exam in the past two years and who had their places rejected. In a scandal that hit headlines worldwide, Tokyo Medical University admitted routinely changing the scores of female applicants to keep them out - as well as those of male candidates who had already failed three times.
