    If you didn't cash your results in until the next year (despite having the points for the A* etc already) , which plenty of people do, it would of counted. Seems silly and a bit unfair that you didn't get it.

    Hmm, perhaps I should have done that. I just didn't think it would have mattered. At the time I thought it would have impressed unis more if I told them I completed an A-Level in one year.

    My mum was fairly happy that I got tcd! But I just realised that I could've gotten NUIG with 541. Wow, I really think this year rewarded people with lower LC scores

    Grats you guys :)

    Not really, people with lower hpat scores gained the most. Last year I'd have needed 88th to get UCC but this year 84th would have gotten me in. Also, NUIG has always been the lowest of the med colleges..

    Anybody going to Trinity? Feel free to PM me and say hi! :)

    Congratulations to everybody who got offered a place!

    To those who didn't: don't lose faith. If medicine is what you really want to do, you'll figure out a way to get there!

    That could have also played a part I guess. But you have the option of having a slightly higher hpat and lower LC or the opposite. Every other year you needed a really high score in both

    The college will contact you about it, if you get First Med you can change pretty easily down to Pre-Med by contacting the Admissions Office. I just checked there and I got the e-mail about allocation on the 29th of August, so I presume around then. :)

    Cheers!

    Eh not really, an 85th as well as 550 was always more than enough to see you off to Galway anyways which isn't that high in the grand scheme. You're right though, the scores needed are a few points less than usual but that's probably to do with the fact that a lot less people sat the exam this year.

    I got offered RCSI which was my first choice so I'm delighted :D Just wondering what everyone is doing for accommodation? Or does anyone want to look for somewhere together?

    As a student who looked for accommodation in Dublin this year, my advice would be to get on it STAT if you're looking to rent privately. Matter of hours rather than days. The city's experiencing a MAJOR shortage, and the sooner you get on it, the better! Not to be a downer but it's just the reality.. :/ Best of luck with it.

    Edit: Also, if you're unfamiliar with Dublin, feel free to give me a shout! Having scoured around in LOTS of different places before finding accommodation, I've a decent grasp of what certain areas are like. Feeling safe and sound when walking home at night really does make a difference to your experience of college :)

    Thanks. My main issue is that I don't know anyone going to RCSI, and I would prefer to be with students to get to know people. I'm sure there are other people in the same boat, so maybe some people might like to get together and look for a place. Thanks :)

    Just making sure, if you are happy with your LC result(2014) you can just repeat the hpat and reapply to CAO right?

    Contact the campus accommodations for cancellations, I have to cancel my place and I'm sure there are loads of people who chose not to go to Galway.

    It'd probably be easier to find a house to rent out. But you'd need a few people together. Any RCSI meds want to find me a house and live with me? :'(
