    Well judging by what everyone else said you should be getting your phone call very soon - maybe tomorrow or monday?

    I was hoping i'd get my letter this week and the medical would be early next week but that isn't looking likely now :(

    They seem determined to keep me waiting lol

    nope, rang today and they said they won't know for a while yet and are unable to guarantee a place.. So gonna go ahead and accept this masters, they also said i could hear next week or i might hear in a couple of months, either way its not a guarantee. not good :(

    What?? That's terrible, why bother sending u for medical if they are not gonna offer u a place if u pass it?

    I'm starting to think they aren't even going to take the full 200 that they initially said-I've no hope if they won't even offer you! :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88 ✭✭sydnor


    What merit range you guys in?

    Strange they would stop before giving medicals to all of the first 200.

    nooo idea, pretty disappointing.. May well get the call in a few weeks/months offering the job but don't wanna risk waiting then getting nothing lol. Think of it as moving you up one place on the merit list though i guess :D

    Well I would then if I were you - cause even if you accept and then they do offer you a position, you can always ask for an Leave of Absence for a year and start with the nips and see how you get on - if it doesn't work out you have the course to fall back on in a years time and if you love it you can just withdraw from your course.........works out either way :)

    Anyway I don't think me moving up a place is gonna help now - not if you arent being offered straight away!

    I'll just have to wait - i've got an interview for another job so will give that one a go and see what happens.

    Just to let you know that I emailed recruitment today and they said I am still definitely going to be called for a medical and that It should be soon (though they've said that before) so I can't see them continuing with medicals if they aren gonna keep taking people :)

    Would have to agree with you - I have not heard anything lately to suggest otherwise - good luck - 67j
