Any predictions for how much tcd and ucd might drop for 2nd round..I'm on 744, can't believe I missed out by one

Guys.. how do people know the points .... I'm on 749 hoping for ucd but everytime i log onto my cap it says there are 'no offers for you at this time '... starting to get reallly worried ... someone please explain it to me

On the thread stickied at the top of the Leaving Cert forum someone got an early copy of tomorrow's Irish Times, scanned the pages and uploaded them.

So
UCG: 737
UCC: 738*
RCSI: 741
UCD: 745*
TCD: 746*

Thank you so much

Yeah, I think we have to wait for our student numbers if i'm not mistaken, but it's fine, it's not first come first serve

WOW so early... See you there!!! (That's so cool to say haha)

UCC!! Finally This is one of those rare occasions when, eventually, things actually go to plan!! AHHH






And to anyone who is disappointed, it really sucks! I didn't get med last year and it's really disheartening for a while, but if you want it, this just puts you on a bit of a detour. And in the grand scheme of things, that's not a big deal! Stick at it, and take this internet wisdom...

Everything will be okay in the end.
If it's not okay, it's not the end!

You'll get there!

It's ok colleges provide you with the necessary vaccinations before, or in some cases during, your first year. All for a nice fee of course... That said, you can usually get them done through your own GP and provide proof of vaccinations to the college.

Awesome, i was worried as I wasn't sure if I needed them all completed before registration, and Hep B (which I haven't got!) needs a course of 3 injections and a blood test, which I won't be able to complete before the 14th of September!

Make sure you get the blood test done (and documented) after finishing the Hep B vaccinations. If you wait too long you can get a false negative and have to start them again.

In regards to Hep B the college usually organizes for the class to be vaccinated over the course of the 6 months. Most people won't have Hep B immunity unless they've been to Africa.

They don't, however, organise the titre to check if you're immune afterwards. It was too late by the time I realised, and now I have to start the injections again. Make sure you book your blood test and ask for a hard copy of the results!

Edit: To be clear, they do the vaccinations (for a fee). It's your own responsibility to make sure you get the blood test.

My mistake, they definitely do for some colleges once you go through the college health centre. I can say for definite they did in TCD last year as my brother went through it.
