HEAR Scheme

Nitsuj

Did you not get a letter with a list?

Anyway, I'd say a change of clothes, sports wear (runners. track suit/whatever) and then toothbrush/paste. Not sure about food, because you could probably just go to a shop there.

I think it should be at least 800e but they were saying to collect as much as you can

hey guys! got my results today and i needed a B3 in maths for my course but i got a C2. As I'm legible for the hear scheme will there be a chance that i will still be accepted or is that out the window?

I think that the hear works for points only I may be wrong though

Hear works for points only not entry requirements.

My understanding is that it's purely points only. The subject requirement is there as i'm guessing maths is an important component of the course you're hoping of doing and you need to be at a standard to do it.If I were you I'd view the paper just to double check it, to make sure you got all the marks you should have and to ensure it wasn't added up incorrectly. Maths is fairly black and white so less likely for results to change than other subjects.

Also you could look into repeating maths on its own next year to try get the B2. its obviously easier to get a higher grade if just studying one subject. You can use your points from this year if they're high enough and next years potential B2,to gain entry to your course assuming they don't go up next year.

Also hopefully you've applied to level 6 and level 7 courses which normally have lower entry requirements. There might be a level 6/7 version of your course which you can do which you can later progress on to a level 8

I applied for HEAR last year and was accepted, but I didn't go to college. I repeated the Leaving Certificate and I put in last years number at the bottom of the application to say I'm carrying it forward. They never sent me a letter or anything to say I got it this year though so I'm a little confused if I got it or not. Anyone know?

You have it automatically. It's valid for 2 years.
