It's so ridiculous, I know as well as it is possible to know that I won't get called but it'll still be disappointing.
Best of luck to everyone tomorrow, it'd be great to see as many of you as possible getting it
SAME. Nice little excuse not to do any work today, though.0 -

I was just curious which course told them :P. I think I'd prefer to find out I didn't get it by not being announced on Monday, rather than my friends being happy/sad on the Friday.
I wouldn't being told before or on Monday if I got it though...0 -
There were at least 3 biology scholars last year considering one is in Neuroscience now, one in Biochemistry with cell biology and one in Zoology.
All requiring biology modules as prerequisities. So logically they must have done biology exams in schols?
Might as well take this post to wish everyone good luck! I sincerely hope as many boardsies as possible get it!
See, my info is also wrong! Whoopsies. Don't know where I got that idea from .. sorry for confusion.

Really needed every part to go well if I was to have any chance. But I'm also terrified that I'll do worse than last year (which would be awful, considering I worked way harder this year), and that's an even more worrying thought!
I know people say it would ruin it if we knew beforehand, but I think it'd be kinder just to catch someone on the corridor or email them and say "Listen, hard luck, but I'm afraid you haven't got it this time". People would still turn up if they knew they'd got it, and they could bring family/friends to hear the announcement then...
I think you have some guts to sit the exams twice I really admire your perseverance. Really hope you get it
This is the first year I sat the exams and the last no matter what happens. I'm still dead after them. Trying to juggle family life, placement, constant study and assignments plus work and worrying about schols is no joke. Can't wait for the summer to feel human again and dedicate some time to the hubby and kiddies.0 -

That's the upside alright, a nice little day off was had! :P I've found myself walking around my house aimlessly several times today, bleh. Less than 15 hours to go until the misery is over either way, though!PurpleFistMixer wrote: »If it's any consolation (though I don't want to be a purveyor of false hopes either), I didn't want to go in on Trinity Monday the year I got schols. If I recall, we spent much of the day playing frisbee with classmates who didn't get it (aside from some prancing around in gowns), so I'd like to think it wasn't that horrifying an experience for the unlucky ones. If all goes badly you can slink quietly away anyway.
I really hope some people here get a pleasant surprise in the morning! It's really annoying because no matter how sure I am I didn't get it, every so often a little voice in my head pipes up with "but maybe that question went better than you expected, and maybe that other one was dragged up by the one you know was good..." Gragh! Slinking away quietly sounds very much like a plan but I might take a frisbee with me, just in case the weather is good and it isn't as horrible as I'm anticipating 0 -

Fair play to you, doing them with work and family responsabilities! :eek: I'd never have managed that!0 -

If anything this makes me want to be out drinking and having fun...Damn actual exams demanding my time :P Best of luck everyone!! I know I won't get them but I wish the best of luck for everyone here, remember if it doesn't happen it's still a huge achievement and testament to your willpower to actually sit these exams! We're all winners, some will just be better fed than othersScrappychimow wrote: »

Congrats to all the new Scholars, and commiserations to those who missed out- it shows such determination and discipline to even do the exams in the first place, so keep your chins up!
Anyone know when the list of new scholars will be posted on the TCD website?0 -
