Kemi Badenoch insisted on the fact that she was offered a place to study medicine at the University of Stanford, but said that now she did not have relevant documents, after a relationship has questioned the complaint.
The leader of the conservative party previously said that at the age of 16 a place and partial scholarship was offered to study medicine, sometimes describing it as pre-med, at the University of California highly competitive.

The offers are only made to candidates with an international degree or equivalent and there is no pre-medical degree, according to the university website.
Conservatives were asked clarification and said Mrs. Badenoch had not applied, but a place was offered by multiple US universities, including Stanford, on the basis of good results of the exams in US standardized tests, reported the Guardian on Sunday.
An admission officer of Stanford at the time of his question told the Guardian that he had not offered Mrs. Badenoch a place and would have remembered if he had done it.
Jon Reider, therefore responsible for the admission of international students and the allocation of scholarships, said to the newspaper: “Although 30 years have passed, I would certainly remember if we had admitted a Nigerian student with any financial help. The answer is that we have not done it.

“I assure you that we would not admit a student based on the test scores alone, nor would we have sent an invitation to apply for all students abroad based on test scores.”
A source of work said that Mrs. Badenoch needed to “come to clean on what happened here and if he told the truth to the British people”.
The source added: “Honesty and integrity are not optional qualities for those who serve as the leader of the official opposition of His Majesty. The uncertainty that surrounds the statements of the University of Stanford of Kemi Badenoch raise important questions to which the public deserves to know the answers.”
In response to the report, Mrs. Badenoch, who moved to the United Kingdom by Nigeria at the age of 16, said to the press agency of the EP on Monday: “All I will say is that I remember the same day that those letters came to me, it was not only from Stanford, I was 16 years old, I had done very well in my Sat.
“But this is 30 years ago, I don’t have the documents and what the Guardian is doing is referring to hears up rather than talking about what the government is doing.
“I am very happy to stand from what I said – When I was 16 I received an offer and I explained what it was, and the Guardian can try to launch the estate how much they want, but they would be better looking at the sad record of this government and the CVS of the people who manage the country now, which has been demonstrated less than satisfactory.

His comments were made during a rainy visit to a house in Redhill for a discussion with Surrey residents on property taxes.
The Guardian also spoke with the coaches of the admissions of the Ivy League, as well as an author specialized in admissions to college, a number of Stanford graduates and a Vice-Provgʻost of the Ivy League.
Each person said not to believe that it was plausible that this offer was made proactively only on the results of the exams.
An American academic elderly person told The Guardian that he had never heard of exemptions, even for wonders and royalty of internationally renowned children.
Mrs. Badenoch spoke for the first time of Stanfordon’s offer at the Huffington Post in 2017, after being elected conservative deputy for saffron Walden, according to the newspaper.
He told the US News Outlet that at the age of 16 he wanted to become a doctor but “going to a bad school here stopped me”.
“In reality I had received admission to the School of Medicine in the United States-I entered Stanford Pre-Med-and I entered the medicine school in Nigeria but I came here because being a citizen, was only much cheaper.”
The newspaper Times interviewed Mrs. Badenoch in 2024 and the piece said: “At 16, her SAT scores in the United States won a pre-Med scholarship for Stanford, but her family could not yet afford the place”.
Mr. Reider continued to tell the Guardian who was not plausible that a student would be offered a partial scholarship that could not afford to take.
“It makes no sense to offer them less because they would not have been able to participate. If we admitted them, we wanted them to register,” he said.
The viewer and the Daily Mail also reported Stanford’s claims in the profiles of Mrs. Badenoch.
A spokesman for the leader of the Conservative Party said to The Guardian: “Almost 30 years ago, and at the age of 16, Kemi was offered a case partly in Stanford that his parents could not afford to take.
“But, given that his subsequent qualifications both in engineering and in the law are a question of public records, questioned the hysterical efforts to refute this, by the people who have shown little interest in probe the CV full of Rachel Reeves’s holes who contributed to the economic crisis that swallows our country”.
