What exactly defines a disadvantaged area?
'You must live in an area in which there is concentrated disadvantage – in other words, an area where, for example, there is high unemployment and poverty and very few facilities for the community.'
I got that off the website.. Basically that

No clue if I'll get it. I live in a small town/village with a primary school, few shops and pubs...Whatsernamex33 wrote: »'You must live in an area in which there is concentrated disadvantage – in other words, an area where, for example, there is high unemployment and poverty and very few facilities for the community.'

Just a quick question - if you do meet the entry requirements and are on the HEAR scheme, does that mean that you just go in the "normal" application route, and the HEAR places are reserved for those that did not get the points needed?
You could go on either tbh.
Just say you got more than enough for your first choice, then the HEAR points wouldn't be added and you'd be on the normal application route.
But say in another scenario, you could be 10 points off of your first choice or whatever, then the HEAR added points will more than likely be added here and you'd be on the HEAR reserved places thing...
Sorry if it doesn't really make sense.

Yep that makes perfect sense, thanks! I was just wondering about what would happen if you got more than enough points for the course. 0 -

I'm just assuming they'll be here before the CAO closes.
Well if they were posted yesterday they will most certainly be here by friday. Was just wondering if anyone here had recieved theirs as the woman on the phone said some people have.
What colleges/courses are people hoping to get through the scheme may I ask?:)0 -
I applied for DARE. Not eligible for HEAR. Extremely nervous waiting for the letter. Have anticipated this day since I sent off all my forms last December! Hoping to get into Midwifery in UL. Although I feel like all my exams went really well (much much better than I ever could have thought they would), if I do not get DARE I feel like there will be more pressure on me even though the exams will be done. I will have a lot less hope of going to college. I'm getting so wound up over this, I'm not even sure if I'll sleep tonight. My "significant ongoing illness" as Access call it has impacted so much on my education that I feel it would be really unfair if I don't get DARE and I will spend the rest of summer in a cave. A tad over dramatic maybe, haha, but I just really really want this. 0

I've said this before, but I doubt I'll get HEAR.. Didn't get it last year, although alot has changed tbh from the past year, so maybe...
And if I magically ;P this year am eligible, my first course doesn't accept HEAR applicants.. So basically just fully need my points from the results. ;P
Second one, journalism.. A few HEAR points would be nice, but then again I'm doubting I'll get it. :L
Did anyone here apply for the DIT access scheme? Same thing as HEAR, reduced points etc., but only for DIT courses. Haven't heard anything yet. 0 -

If it is anything like Mary I's access schemes, you won't actually find out until August when college places are being offered!0 -

Sorry but that's not true. If you get the points for the course, and you've been accepted by HEAR, you've gotten one of the HEAR places. In high demand courses, most of the HEAR places can go to people who already have the points and no-one can get a reduction.
HEAR isn't just about the points reductions, it's about the financial and educational assistance that's provided to you.0
