62!! Hopefully UCD beckons for me. I don't think I'll be resitting. Hopefully they won't tell us next week that they're slashing places. The essays saved me... Bigtime! Happy out though

got a 64, pretty happy with it. hoping to get into Notts or SGUL with a bit of luck! anyone else off to the UK?

54..guessing I don't have a chance either? Not bad for 2 weeks study mind you.

fair play to ye all !! anythin over 60 is great !! id be delighted !! I wouldnt have a chance of an interview for SGUL or Swansea with 57 would I ??

I think wit 54 you could be safe!! I was tempted in ringin UL and askin their predictions but I suppose they havint a clue yet cause the march exams have not been sat.......... but its up to you whether you want to take the chance... If it was me I probably would take the chance....
I think what i'm goin to do is just see what happens whenever they release the cut offs and if I dont get enough for anywhere I'll just have to sit it again in September 2012 or march 2013.. simple as that .. Myt get a bit of time to do a bit of travellin or somethin or earn money !!!!!! .. but , for myself anyways, I just cant justify puttin myself under that stress again when I would have got UL or UCC on this years cut offs .. Plus I'm in final year in college so Iv enough to be worryin about besides when to fit in GAMSAT study...Ill Focus on this degree first and I'll focus on GAMSAT after if needs be ..

Take it as it comes I suppose....

Hey guys,

I got a 60 and am really thrilled; I just hope that the cut-off for dublin doesn't go up from last year. RCSI was 59 and UCD was 58* in 2011; RCSI was 63 in 2010 and UCD was 60* in 2010.I heard that the cutoff scores all went down last year because UCD added more places... So would reckon it will stay relatively similar or should I retake the exam!?!

I got 53, I'm delighted with that though because I thought is do so Much worse! my science prep involved reading the first three chapters of organic chemistry for dummies, which definitely showed in my terrible section 3 score. I'm happy that I started studying the day after I got back from england! Congratulations to you who don't have to sit it again!

In the same boat as you, but with a 59. I've decided to resit the exam but I'm finding it harder to motivate myself second time around (hence why I'm on here and not studying right now!). With 59 I'm pretty much guaranteed UL and UCC but I'd prefer Dublin as I'm from there and means I wouldn't need to pay rent. Having said that, I've lived away from home the last 3 years and readjusting to living at home again will be tough in my opinion, so the silver lining if I don't get Dublin is that I won't be living at home age 28 when I finish GEM.

As for the cut-offs, I'm confident they won't go up very much, and may even come down a bit. I'm basing this on the fact that in 2010 for example, when UCD was 60 and UL 57 or so, you'll have had lots of people just missing out and reapplying for the following year. Last year must have been a bit of an opening of the floodgates with lots of repeat applicants and people with relatively low scores (compared to previous years) getting through. That should mean that this year there will be the lowest number of applicants in a few years and that should result in a lowering of the average, and therefore a lowering of the cut-off scores. That's my theory anyway and I'm sticking to it to make me feel better about not studying much for March!
