Sorry. I am wrong. You could transfer from science to medicine if you had 600 points.

So if somebody was too chicken to do medicine and did science but got the courage half way through first year they MIGHT be able to swap without reapplying via CAO if they had the points.

So if Maths had a higher points requirement than TP and you decided to move from TP to Maths because you disliked Physics you would need to have had the points int te first place to do TP but you were erroneous in filling out your CAO.

Do you agree with this?

My sentiment is the same, you can't swap internally if you don't have the points already.

I see what you had intended to say: that internal transfer to a higher-points course is restricted to those who had a points surplus big enough to meet the requirements for the course they want to transfer to.

As regards Maths/TP, I think that as it would be possible to transfer from one to the other without going back to the start of JF, in addition to CAO points, they will also take into account other factors.

Do you think they'd be able to circumvent the hpat requirment?

Librium · 17-08-2012, 16:08

I just thought you meant if someone got 600 in leaving, didn't sit hpat, applied for science and then after a few months wish they had done med, then they'd be able to potentially transfer...

Ill have to agree with my good friend Librium

, no way around it

i'm out of this thread too many silly questions.

don't do science and expect to get up-graded to medicine. you don't share any lectures with med students or sit the same exams and you only have the tiniest amount of lecturer overlap, you will never be able to impress the staff or out perform the students.

do science then grad med, or repeat and do undergrad. these are the options. peace.

Right, thanks for the input.

johnnyboy18 · 22-08-2012, 09:10

With the student selected module or language module, if I want to do student selected do I just do nothing?

What's everyone doing about the vaccinations? Do we just have to get a blood test to show them what we are and are not immune to, take that to registration then student health will get us the vaccines we need? Or do we have to be fully immune to register? (I haven't had Hep B or C or the BCG...)

Yeah... Googled that one after I wrote the post, haha my bad...

So I'm working in a GP surgery at the moment and just thought I'd make a quick post on getting your vaccines.
Vaccines can work out to be very expensive if your not careful.
First, check if your university will vaccinate you at a fee. For anyone going to RCSI, note you have to pay the vaccination fee, even if your fully vaccinated so don't go wasting money getting vaccinated from your GP.

So know exactly what vaccines you need for your course. Then ring your GP and askwhat ones you already have! Most likely you'll have some of them already from childhood or if you ever travelled.

Finally, make sure you get all your vacs in one go, otherwise you'll end up paying more than one consult fee every time you go back.

It would be impossible to be fully immunised against Hep B between now and registration; a course of Hep B vaccines needs to be administered over the space of a few months. The blood test they are asking you for is just to make sure you do not currently have an active Hep B infection and to confirm whether you will or will not need the course of vaccines.

TCD will do this but it could well be more expensive than your own GP. I think charges are on the College Health Service website.
