Got 55 ,could take ul and head for the swimming coaching too but ucds on the cards so im caught by choice and safety
I can't really advise as to which is the quietest test centre, but I sat it in London and found it well organised and laid out and wasn't remotely stressful in the slightest. In fact from talking to some of my course mates London was a lot more efficient than Sheffield where they sat it. I wouldn't worry too much about how busy they are unless you think it would really stress you out. It's held in the ExCel in London so there's plenty of hotels etc near by where you can stay and just roll in there the morning of.

You don't know the usual location of the (less efficient!) Sheffield test centre by any chance?0 -

Yeh I see. Might end up doing both. Registered and stamped envelope. Might be overkill but I'll be going on a small holiday soon after and can't afford that have any hiccups. Thanks a million!
No worries. Can't say I blame you. It's not something you want to take a risk with, I have nightmares about not getting an offer because I missed something for CAO 0 -

Hahahah, I had a similar dream the other night. Went on holidays and CAO rang me and said they're missing something and I couldn't get back... Never been more happy to wake up.0 -

Just Wondering what the demand for limerick will b this year, also does anybody know the total number of places for there is for all GEM colleges in ireland? Getting nervous now
If you have a score in the 80th percentile, you will get a place somewhere without any worries. Some guy here on boards was nice enough to call the universities to get that info and the people in the admissions offices said:
UCD: Increase of 40% in first choice applicants and higher GAMSAT cut-offs are expected.
UCC: Decrease in first choice applicants so a similar Cut-off is expected or a tiny drop.
RCSI: Same as UCC
UL: Reluctant to give out info any concrete info but they have an increase in first choice applicants.
Overall, there was a small 5-8% drop in GEM applicants in total compared to last year so you can expect a few more places for people overall but the gamsat scores will most likely fluctuate based on people's CAO applications. 0 -

Thanks Hypnos! Wow 5-8% is significant (not sure if its significant in the strict statistical sense of the word but you know what I mean) which is a help in the right direction, thanks again for helping great sense of comradary on this forum!!!0 -

That's a good question
I suppose, living in Killiney, it is further away from me, however, I attended both the Open Days, and I fell head over heels for RCSI... I've no better explanation... Have you decided yourself?0 -

Ya gotta gimme more than that!!!
No not yet. The open day swayed me toward ucd but I didn't do the rcsi one which isn't helping.
If you were to point to one thing in particular at rcsi what would it be?0 -
