540 in total, which is not good as that was the level needed for Pharmacy in RCSI (by random selection) last year. So I don't know what will happen.

When I first got my results, I thought I had got 2 B1s and thus 550, until the principal pointed out my mistake...

Well done that is super!! I want to do pharmacy to but ill be gettn my results next year! wish u all the best!! GOOD LUK everybody with your courses! Tell me how it goes with pharmacy!! good luk again!

I got way more points than i needed but somehow got a d in maths(i still can't believe that) so I can't do my engineering course....so essentially my points are worthless. fun

supersheep · 18-08-2005 10:50am

535, so I'm dancing, even if I missed out on my first choice course (History and Political Science, 550). Yay, especially for an A1 in history, and an A2 in english - I thought I'd done badly in both of them. A2 in chemistry and B1 in physics a little surprising, they were my best exams, or so I thought, so I'll be having a gander at them when the checks are on... Everyone seems to have done really well. Thankfully all this sh*t is over and we can go get drunk continually, yay!

Congratulations

upmeath · 18-08-2005 9:03pm

I scored 505 in my mock exams, got 575 in the real thing so I'm delighted. I want to do Architecture in UCD, QUB or UL so I reckon I'll have a choice with a 45pt margin over last year's requirement!

A1's: English, Maths, Geography, Physics
A2's: Tech Drawing
B1's: French, Irish
B2's: Applied Maths

Yeow!!!

PaulMcG · 18-08-2005 9:33pm

Kunst · 18-08-2005 10:35pm

I want law in UCD which was 510 last year. getting geography and economics rechecked for sure. cant get over a C1 in geog! im screwed otherwise

Dave! · 19-08-2005 12:43am

Would you be able to get in on maybe the second round of offers?

Dinxminx · 19-08-2005 12:18pm

455 Yeah baby!!! Okay so I failed History but I passed Maths and Irish which, knowing me, was nothing short of a miracle... and an A2 in english! I only needed 370 (Arts in UCD anyone???) so.....

YES!!!!!!

rainbow kirby · 19-08-2005 9:15pm

Congrats

Vikings · 19-08-2005 9:20pm

I got an NG in history, like to see you all beat that!

Sparko · 19-08-2005 9:41pm

My results:
Irish(H)-A1
Geography(H)-A2
Accounting(H)-A2
Business(H)-B1
English(H)-B3
Maths(H)-C1
German(O)-A1

So 510. I'm absolutely delighted. It was a lot higher than I'd expected, because I felt some of the papers didn't go too well but I guess I was just being paranoid

I needed 370 for Accounting and HRM in NCI, so I'm so happy. I still don't believe it, it's all so surreal.

d4gurl · 19-08-2005 10:45pm

Well done everybody!! Sparko fair play to u!! an A1 in honours irish thats brill!!

Sparko · 20-08-2005 12:11am

Thanks a lot! But in fairness I go to an all-Irish school so that helped me big time.

thejovialhost · 20-08-2005 6:33pm

Yeah bloody hell, EVERYONE keeps saying galway rocks!!can't wait myself.so wot subjects did you do and just wonderin' why'd ya pick commerce??

mrs. hamlet · 20-08-2005 6:39pm

I picked it because i didn't have a clue what i wanted to do tbh!!
How bout u?
I would have actually loved to do psychology but i can hardly even spell the word and i never thought in a million years i would get enough points!
I did french, chem, accounting and business, ir, eng, maths! u?

thejovialhost · 20-08-2005 6:42pm

Woah :eek: !!same here-not a clue i just knew i LOVED accounting. so i hope to become an accountant now, unless i get sick of it which is why i chose broad commerce.
I wanted to do psychology 2 but thought the points were unreachable!
I did same but switch bus. with physics

mrs. hamlet · 20-08-2005 6:56pm

:eek: That's freaky! That's my plan too, i want to do accounting because it was my absolute fave subject at school! But i thought i might get sick of it so i didn't want to take a course with just accounting! did you get your a1 in accounting?? That was the one subject i really wanted an a in but i thought i messed it up because of all the theory but i did so

SERIOUSLY this is weird :eek: .Hell yeah i got my A1.i didn't care if i failed the L.C. i just wanted my Accounting A1!!first thing i went to look for on the result sheet actually.all that theory was a bit sly.only bad thing is the 'boring' rep. accountants have. Never fear though i'll set that straight

me and my wacky ways..i'll rule the world with a fistfull of dollars embezzled in an offshore account!!

mrs. hamlet · 20-08-2005 7:12pm

oh my god, i know that whole boring rep is very annoying! Everyone's faces drop when you tell them you want to be an accountant!

I will def help change that rep tho!!

you are from westmeath, right?? I will be looking out for people from westmeath on my course cuz you seem like the type of person i would get on with!

thejovialhost · 20-08-2005 8:37pm

I look forward to our inevitable encounter

See you bright and early on tuesday 13th @ 10am..i may wear a westmeath jersey for identification purposes

You know anyone else going from your school or you flyin' solo like meself?

Groovychick · 22-08-2005 8:14am

I shall be doing commerce as well!! my sister is forcing me to pay for her books! Very unfair!!! She's just a year ahead of me!!
Where in galway are you from mrs. Hamlet?

Richard_Fonzie · 23-08-2005 3:47am

Yeah. Except this year the trend changed, and average grades were about the same as last year.
