    According to the CAO list RCSI issued no offers in either round 1 or round 2 to GEM's. Could they have filled all places in Round 0 or am I missing something?

    Don't know why RCSI decided to be special on that list. The other GradMed Uni's have the points up.

    There is round 0 and round 1. I don't round 2 is official in GEMs. Maybe it's individual. I know that qualifax.ie always displays the round 1 score for GEM and CAO round 0. It is possible that the points didn't move at all!

    Last year (Round 0):

    - RCSI 59*
    - UCD 58

    Round 1

    - RCSI 59
    - UCD 57*

    - UCD 58

    Round 1

    - RCSI 59
    - UCD 57*

    Points for GEM 2013 offer rounds , as far as I can find are:-

    Round 0
    UCC 56*
    UCD 58*
    UL 53*
    RCSI 57*

    Round 1
    UCC 56*
    UCD 57*
    UL 53*
    RCSI blank

    Round 2
    UCC 56*
    UCD 57*
    UL blank
    RCSI blank

    "blank" does not mean that the points stayed the same, it means that no offer of a place was made to a candidate in that round.
    * means that random selection was used to offer places to candidates on the same points.

    So it would appear that RCSI GEM course was full after round 0 and UL GEM course was full after round 1. Both UCC and UCD offered places in all three rounds.

    Might it be due to people still waiting on approval from banks? So they may not know whether they have funding or not as yet, in which case they cannot decline their place so not available to offer on to next candidate.

    Just curious did anyone get into cork last year on 55 in subsequent rounds? I seen somewhere on the CAO site that it went down to 54* but other sources seem to contradict this?

    Yes it certainly went to 54. Several people that had already started in Limerick got offers in the first and second week of term.

    Can anyone who sat the GAMSAT 2013 provide a percentile curve please. Trying to compare it to 2014 to see if I stand a chance of making medical school this year?

    Thanks very much

    I would say it's going to stay the same as last year. Depending on the number of applicants! I know there is an overall decrease in the number of applicants this year but it doesn't specify Grad med!

    Im terms of gamsat, it's a tricky one because the maximum score this year is a lot higher than last year's score but the average seems to be the same so I would say the gamsat won't affect the scoring too much.

    Anyone with more information
