GAMSAT 2010...for discussion of all things related to this exam.

MicraBoy

Compulsively checking the GAMSAT site to see if they have updated it with the offical date of the results are out. Even though I know from experience this is done only a few days in advance.

Still as time goes by its getting easier ( and as I have come to terms with the fact I won't beat my UK score ).

The wait between May and August will be H E L L :cool:

I dreamt that I got 60 and woke up chuffed, probably the happiest minute of my life til I realised it was all a dream

On the good side, we're over halfway there

I sympathise with Malbec & etymon-I had a really vivid dream the other night that I topped my marks from last year and had enough to chuck my job in (which I don't particularly enjoy)-then my alarm went off and reality hit...... and not too gently either. Cruel is not the word.

Roughly 25 days to results!! :eek:

A poster put up a thread saying the results were out 4/5/10.
He was contradicted by several other posters and asked to substantiate his claim.
He admitted he couldn't.
The thread was deleted.

This Saturday (8th May) is only 7 weeks since exam.

I reckon it'll be at least 8 weeks before the results come out, this means at least the 15th. I wish they'd come sooner though.
Need to find something to occupy myself with in the meantime.
I've already spent a fair bit of time computing different results & need to stop doing that.

I know I'm saying the same thing that's been said a hundred times but this wait really is taking over my life.

warning! this may not necessarily work for evryone... Heck it is still not working for me!

I found one thing that could help was to apply to a masters course as a sort of back up plan and try to decieve yourself that u really care about the course and wud do it if the Gammy does not go well this year

maggie82

cool thanks for that:), was getting a bit concerned there! thought it was more of my bad luck that they had forgotten about me

eagle_&_bear

Like yourself I keep checking and all I get on the Gamsat-IE site when I log in, is ''results will be available mid-May'' so rescue remedy for the lot of us!

On a side note, I got a letter from CAO telling me I was inelligable! had an absolute heart attack: this was a Friday and had all weekend to sweat it out.

Worst weekend ever!!!

Got it sorted tho. A very helpful lad in the CAO office informed me that the colleges went down to the CAO 2 weeks ago to review all the Grad-Med files and they ''mis-read'' my degree and thought my 3 year honours degree should have been a 4 year degree so they barred me from a place.

Got it sorted but if anyone gets a letter like that, do check it out.:eek:

maggie82

oh my good god i think i'd cry!! good its all sorted now though.
hope you get the results you need

Malbec

Guys, this is not good for my health. I feel physically sick every time I think about results which is pretty much all day and at night when I wake up at random hours to check mails.

I know some people are saying don't stress it but I just can't help it.

I had a dream last night that we got mail saying results would be out on the 27th, now that would be horrific.

Fingers xd for a mail tomorrow and results on Monday. That'd be the same duration as the wait for March 2009's gammy!

sarah_anne

hey glad to see some activity on here again ........ the wait is getting to me a bit ... but i must admit im not too hopeful in getting a place but Im soooo curious to know how I did regardless. I hope your rigth about it being on monday coz its been long enough

hurdygurdy85

Just checked my old emails from GAMSAT Ireland and last year they sent out an email on Fri, May 15, 2009 at 8:00 AM to say results would be available the following Monday 18 2009, so fingers crossed we'll all get an email tomorrow bright and early tomorrow morning. And then the real waiting can begin for Monday morning at 09:00 AM!
Good luck everyone!!

Biologic

Today @ 9am. Wow this next 3 hours is gonna be a b!tch. Good luck all.

hurdygurdy85

Results out at 9am today!!! Eek, earlier than usual. Good luck everyone!

Biologic

And I've got one of my MSc finals today..... so much for getting anything done before that.

etymon

good luck all... esp. to all those like me who have been here before!!!

Biologic

When they said 9am they really meant it. I have to stop trying to login every 5 minutes, there's only so many beats my heart can skip...

eagle_&_bear

best of luck everyone!

maggie82

oh god feel sick, cant bear to look:eek:
good luck all!!

hurdygurdy85

Im in work until half 4 today and I dont want to get the results while still in work, which means not looking at them until I go home. Good idea or bad idea? I dont know if I can go all day and manage to not look at them........

sarah_anne

do it ........... its all over in a sec ..... i didnt get enough so roll on sept

etymon

(72 - 76 - 59) 66

proof that taking a year to repeat is worth it

(last year - (63 - 80 - 42) 57 )

good luck all

Sid_Justice

got 59. So who knows. Kicking myself because i got 51 in section 3. And I'm a science grad. TBH if I get UL I'd be delighted but so wanted UCD. def won't have enough for RCSI.

Will have to wait and see. If i had one or two points I'd be A LOT happier.

Biologic

SI:62
SII:64
SIII:66
Overall:64 (and a bit)
Percentile: ~95th

Holy Norah.

hurdygurdy85

Well done etymon! You deserve it after repeating. Only hope my fate is as good after sitting it for the fourth time..... I got 59 last September but was holding out for UCD or RCSI so re-sat it again in Dublin in March. But cant bear to look at the results cos Im in work until half 4. The agony......

maggie82

wow you guys theyre brilliant results:D very annoyed with myself but then again only had 2 weeks to study so hopefully london will be better, wow really didnt want to do london

etymon

hurdygurdy, you should look and aim for the nearest toilet straight afterwards if possible. If you get me

Sid_Justice

so when will cao sent out offers? Will that be before or after the deadline for sitting in london? I know i 'll have to wait another year.
