    documents to be submitted on/before 30th april


  • Registered Users Posts: 101 ✭✭peacock169


    So i rang DCU today to put me out of my misery. Apparently emails for invitation to interview have been sent. If you haven't received one, no interview. They say some people won't get called for interview, but may be automatically offered a course. Not holding my breath on that one!
    Just waiting on Maynooth to reply with results of interview i had. PLEEEAAAASSSEEEEEE.

    2 courses. Biotech, and genetics + cell biology. I didn't ask about any particular dept., was just given that generic info. All applicants will receive notification by post, one way or another. Best of luck.

    Gutted, Worked so hard on my application and getting relevant experience over the last year really thought I had a shot this year. Still don't want to ring up and get confirmation even though I know its over.

    Still have an application going in UL so just praying something comes of that.

    From the UL website...
    "In the case of applications to programmes other than nursing, each mature application is considered on an individual basis. Academic qualifications, work and life experience, motivation and overall potential for the programme of study are evaluated, usually by means of an interview (held in May/June/July). Applicants are expected to be available for interview at the specified time if an interview is required."

    The application deadline has also been extended to 1st May, so maybe those who put all their unhatched eggs in the Trinity basket, might have another opportunity for Uni here, if you're quick!

    I'm hoping for an interview here, I applied to 6 Universities... Is that a record?!

    Received offer from Maynooth for Biotechnology. Absolutely delighted!!
    Now to figure out how to fund my new life:D

    My girlfriend got a letter from AIT about an open evening/talk for her course, no sign of an interview yet.
    Will be handy for the interview.

    UL application is direct to the college too.

    6 universities? When I was applying, I was applying to the UK as well. :D

    got a phonecall for an interview with UCC for psychology on the 30th, still waiting to hear from UCD, NUIG and IADT. anybody heard from them?

    also - had my interview with trinity for philosophy and it went well, thought it was very short though i was a little disappointed i didn't get to show just how much i knew about the course, i literally could have been sat there for an hour chatting away but it only lasted ten minutes or so. felt very over prepared for what was really just a friendly conversation!

    had interview with dcu as well which went really well, it was a 15 minute written interest piece before a half hour interview. forgot how friendly everyone in that college is and came out feeling pretty positive.

    i can't wait for all this to be over, i'm so far behind on all the work in my ABA course!

    Hey
    Done a interview for Computer applications (CA) in DCU on the 20th April, I think(and hope) it went well.
    I prepared for the interview weeks in advance,Studied the modules and DCU done a cover-letter,C.V and a portfolio about the assessments I done in college this year in a HETAC level 6 course plus MTA certification.
    At the very end of the interview I was asked do I have any questions and the very last question I asked the interviewer was when will I find out If I got the position in CA he replied that it go's through CAO and should be around July??

    Just wondering if anyone has experience of successfully being accepted as a mature student in DCU can tell us,how and when were you accepted in the course??
    Already climbing the walls to find out:(:eek:

    Thanks Eugene


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,131 ✭✭✭ronano


    I don't know directly for your course but from gf getting her letter last year for ucd, it was sent out in july. It basically said subject to cao procedures you will be offered a place which is case of having your cao in order, choices etc and just waiting until you are offered and accept it. You seem exceptionally well prepapred and think it went well so i hope you get it and good luck :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 134 ✭✭eug87


    Thanks Ronano
    Its my first preference so I really made the effort to try and stand out.
    Well that's great to hear that your GF got the letter in July and accepted last year hope shes doing well and hopefully I get one in July also.:)
