Not yet. I'm refreshing my email every two seconds even though I know it's a complete waste of time. I'm actually more anxious to find out than I was with the Leaving Cert results.

I think it's sent by post (which makes it even worse!)

What are you hoping to transfer to?

Oh, really? I thought my tutor said email but they do say post on the website, so...

I'm hoping for PPES or TSM Philosophy and Economics. The latter will be particularly maddening if I don't get it because I have way more points than I'd ever have needed if I'd just failed less at CAO in the first place. What are you trying for?

I'm hoping for science, with the intention of applying for medicine next year or further down the road. I'm doing an arts course at the moment though (Psychology and English), so they said it was unlikely that I could transfer to an entirely different field, but where there is hope...

Best of luck with yours anyway, hope you get it!

Will ye stay in the courses ye're in now if ye aren't allowed?

Yeah, I don't dislike the course i'm in, just not really passionate about it.

I'm hoping to transfer into science too! also from TSM

According to my tutor its not unlikely at all, science has one of the highest drop out rates

I'm well over the points required though...totally made a mess or the CAO.

I hope we find out soon....

Wow that's great news! I rang way back in August looking to transfer before I even started

and she said that science was over capacity, never mentioned drop-outs though, and something I never thought of either. Hope to see you in science in the near future! let me know how you get on.

Yeah they take in loads because so many drop out - science in UCD and TCD has a really high drop out rate! In UCD a friend of mine said on the first orientation lecture the main speaker said *look to the person either side of you - only one of them will be here next year* or something

...I hope it works out! Only reason it might not would probably be because we'd have missed like 3 important weeks (freshers weeks was apparently all basic introductions)

Has anyone heard back yet? Still no word and I live, like, twenty minutes away from college.

dynamot · 21-10-2011, 11:56

No, not yet. I just e-mailed the admissions officer to find out what the story is. She probably has to write out all the letters to all the applicants, hence the delay. They should just e-mail us the decision, I just want to know; yes or no!
All this red-tape is ridiculous imo

dynamot · 21-10-2011, 12:01

Lads, I just rang up: I got it! (science) Delighted!

veganomics · 21-10-2011, 14:49

Congrats! I probably won't know 'til Monday, but I'm glad you got yours.

dynamot · 21-10-2011, 16:52

thanks! you should defo hear by Monday as she was in the process of posting them out when I rang. Good luck

veganomics · 24-10-2011, 10:26

Still nothing -- I rang up, and apparently the departments haven't gotten back to them yet, which doesn't sound great. FMLLLLLLL.
