    And what are you doing (hoping for) if so? My first choice is English/Maths TSM, 510 last year. That should be achievable. What have ye heard about the place? I'm really looking foward to it.

    I'm down for medicine, which was 590* last year (!). I'm not discounting the possibility that I might get it (especially if it drops a few points), but realistically it's tight.

    Is it not possible to study general science and then specialise in Medicine through a graduate programme if you dont get 590 points?
    Might be a longer option however.

    It would be easier still to just do medicine somewhere else, but not much; the lowest in the state last year was 570 in Galway. Graduate entry is an option but is even more difficult to get a place on.

    I'm hoping to study engineering at trinity. Have you not been there? It's a great place! Every time I'm in town I have a little stroll through TCD, just to get me all psyched up. Just hope I get the points, thank god I don't want to do medicine.

    Don't see too many tourists round UCD. Just an observation.

    That's it.

    In Trinity you get boring tourists with Passion for ort. How boring can they be? I'm going to TCD but don't want to be surrounded by people like that!

    good choice wit trinity. UCD is unbearbale to look at and walk through. most arts courses are too big and unfriendly and they have a weird grading system which makes no sense, i know people who have their exam results but don't know if they passed or not.

    Arts in Trinity apparently doesn't offer you a very borad range I believe. So I am told anyway.

    Not arts though, is it? I mean, afaik, they offer single arts subjects, or there's TSM, which offers arts subjects, sciences, business subjects.. the lot! My sister did Psychology and Economics, for example.

    TSM doesn't exactly offer science subjects and is very much considered an arts course. Here is a list of the subjects offered for this degree course: http://www.tcd.ie/Admissions/courses/moderatorship.php?faculty=JOINT
    Or go to page 51 of the CAO handbook for a table of permitted combinations.

    If a person wants to study science they can choose some of the many science degree courses on offer or choose TR071 Natural Science which allows them to study a range of subjects before specialising in their moderatorship.

    I meant stuff like psychology and maths *nod* Incidentally, those are the two subjects I have down for TSM, which is my... 7th or 8th choice.


    Anyway, had a conversation with the sister about this a few days back, she laughed in my face when I suggested it was like arts.. so I assumed it wasn't. :p
