No, our class (Class of 2016) has a total of 173 with around 120 Irish applicants!

Have you enough for an estimation for UCC yet????

partyatmygaff

Both UCC Pharmacy and UCC Medicine need a few more participants to get a preliminary estimation. UCC Pharmacy is closer to a preliminary estimation at the moment.

To improve accuracy (Or even just get an estimation of any description) we need a lot more people participating in both surveys.

Thankyou:) Il keep checking!!!!!!!!!!!!

As more people participate the estimations become more accurate.

Pharmacy
TCD: 570 points
RCSI: Need 3 more participants for an initial estimation
UCC: Need 2 more participants for an initial estimation

Medicine
TCD: 748 points
UCD: 742 points
NUIG: 738 points
UCC: Need 6 more participants for an initial estimation
RCSI: Need 2 more participants for an initial estimation

These are still very early estimates so take heed to the usual disclaimer.

I promise that I will burn down the CAO HQ if I miss TCD by a point.

Do you mind me asking why you want TCD so much? WIth that score you're almost guaranteed RCSI for example...

Sorry, I'm #133 in the medicine list. I put down TCD by mistake, actually my first choice is RCSI. Please change it back for me please. Thanks!!

I did first year of physics in TCD last year and loved the place. The campus, the set up, the location. Also Ive made friends there that I dont want to leave behind.

Should be possible. Just get me the course codes and the average intake quoted on Qualifax and i'll look in to it when I get home.

I'm not sure what you mean by "average intake quoted on Qualifax"

Go to Qualifax.ie and check out all the Dental Science courses. Usually they'll have the average intake somewhere on the page.

Intake as in the amount they earn? Or the number of people accepted every year?

Intake as in the amount of people accepted every year. I'd do it myself but i'm not at home at the moment.

There were 32 places in TCD for 2011 couldn't find the number for UCC though.

partyatmygaff

As I don't have exact details for either TCD or UCC, i've arbitrarily set the number of available places (As in available to normal CAO applicants) to 25 for each. Until I get more accurate information, it'll have to do. Truth be told, I'm not sure if it will work out for dental science. The number of applicants is even smaller than Medicine and Pharmacy and we'd need a reasonably large proportion of them to get something somewhat accurate.

Initial estimation for TCD Dental Science is about 600 points. That said, with only 4 people down for TCD Dent so far it's an almost completely baseless estimation.

I'd recommend that people tell anyone they know who applied for any of the three courses about this thread. Spread the link to the thread itself.

Hi there Partyatmygaff am just wondering how those estimations for med are going?:) spending my day checking and rechecking and wondering and surmising and driving myself crazy!!

Very sorry to hear that. Thanks for all the great work you've put in.

partyatmygaff

Congratulations to everyone who got in the course they chose. To those who missed out, don't lose hope. The points may still drop in later rounds and with appeals you may still get an offer.

Maclovinx

Thanks for all your hard work:)
Got UCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!beyond thrilled:D:D:D

Mad Shark

Thanks partyatmygaff for being so close and keeping all our nerves calm...

Should I expect to get a second round offer for UCD with 745 if the first round was 745*? (Eg. will second round offers be 744* or below).
