UCD Anyone heard?

Has anyone heard back from UCD re mature students applications. I havent even gotten an acknowledgement ?..............

entropi

I heard nothing back myself but I'm putting that down to just not being selected for interview. I've heaard though that UCD are always late calling people in for interviews anyway, so maybe thats the case?

I would ring them up as I think I got some sort of acknowledgement of my application. I think it was something to do with fees.

Not sure what you applied for OP but I apllied to UCD for a health science related course. I emailed UCD admissions in Feb just to enquire as to when interviews take place. I got the following email:

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your email.

An interview date has not yet been set but to give you an idea of the timeframe the interviews were held at the end of June last year.

Regards,

Elaine Byrne
Admissions
UCD Registry
Tierney Building
University College Dublin

So, I dunno. June seems late enough. Gona email admissions again and ask is there any way to find out if UCD got my application package etc.

Just got a call today for an interview for mature entry in to Medicine for the end of May,

Anyone else, any tips???

*Hank Scorpio*

End of May for Medicine, eh? Atleast you have a bit of time to prepare.

I emailed admissions today about Radiography, the lady said the School of Radiography is finalising their list of interviewees and will be contacting them in the coming weeks.

When I went to the open day I spoke to the head of the radiogrpahy department about the course I want to do. He said they get 100 Mature applicants a year, shortlist 10 for interview and give places to atleast 2, more if the candidates are good. (i think he was just trying to give the impression that it is pretty competitive etc)

When I did work experience and spoke to recently qualified radiographers who studied in UCD they said they had between 1-6 mature students in their year so it seems to depend. The course only takes 40 a yr so it's not a bad ratio I guess.

Dunno what course you plan to do. But i previously did a BA in UCD and there were alot of mature students. Atleast 15% if not a bit more.

Good luck, anyway. hope we all do well.

Larianne

Usually its 10% of the total class places. But then again it just depend on the college and course.
