Transfers between medical schools are allowed but in order to be eligible for such transfer, transfer applicant"s score in national university exam should exceed the base score (lowest score to get into that university) of that medical school.
Zeynep Çelik"s score was well below the Hacettepe University School of Medicine"s base score, so for only that year this base score match rule has been changed to make Zeynep Çelik eligible for such a transfer.
This transfer has been made possible by changing this rule. This rule has been changed only for that year by AKP ruled higher education council.
