"Results will be available after 17th Nov 2010.
The GAMSAT UK Office will email you and information will be available on the website when they are out."
Just up on the GAMSAT results page when you enter your info.
If this is true I'll be so pissed off. Tomorrow morning I'll be in Paris which will be awkward enough, but next week I'm in ****ing Cuba. Getting online in Cuba to check scores... good luck.
Some straws to clutch at though... apparently last year the same sort of message appeared. And then it changed to "Results will be available after the current day (Friday). And then they just released the results on that same Friday. Very bizarre.
Let's get them tomorrow though and let's make them good...
7 hours 30 mins to go

Do the dudes in the GAMSAT orifice (typo?) work overtime? Think it's time for them to hang up their surfboards and get our results sorted....after all, it cost us a lot of money to sit the exam and 8 weeks are up!
Ho hum, on with the email checking OCD
Good luck to all x0 -

I've just sent this to gamsatuk@acer.edu.au (it probably won't make any difference but it's worth a try:
Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing to express my discontent at the way in which the results for the September 2010 candidates are being handled.
Prior to the exam we were informed that the results would be available within between 6 and 8 weeks. It is now 8 weeks to the day since the exam and there is no sign of them.
My main issue is with the lack of communication from GAMSATUK with the exception of a vague email last Tuesday stating that the results 'should be available in the next week or so'. This is neither informative nor acceptable.
Thousands of hopeful candidates have invested a great deal of time, emotion and energy into sitting this exam. In addition to that, it costs the best part of £200 to enrol. Those people, myself included, have not entered into this lightly, and deserve the respect from GAMSATUK at the very least to keep us informed as to when our results will be available.
Being a seconday school teacher, I know of no other exam board that gives no definite date for release of results and subsequently leaves the candidates in the dark at an already stressful time.
I would urge GAMSATUK to reconsider their position with respect to the above and to remember that there are human beings attached to the candidate numbers on the database before them who deserve to be treated fairly.
Yours,
Even if it helps next years candidates it's probably a good idea if plenty of people complain

Even if it helps next years candidates it's probably a good idea if plenty of people complainto answer this-yes yes it does and I dont think im alone in thinking this.
Hahaha these comments are so ridiculous, i cant stop laughing!! What's going to happen when a med school makes you wait after attending an interview? ...are you going to write a letter of complaint?! Jesus, get a grip. Receiving results in mid-Nov or end-Nov doesnt actually make a difference. There has been another increase in people doing the gamsat, therefore more paperwork to get through.
Not surprised you're a teacher. Why is it you all have this patronising way with people? I suppose its the classroom environment and you cant turn off.0 -

Glad to have provided you with some entertainment!
Good use of punctuation by the way (patronising wink)
p.s. The fact mere that you were checking this forum suggests that you are perhaps more concerned about when you will be receiving you results than you would like to admit.0 -

Here's the reply from GAMSAT:
Thank you for your email. We are very aware of how important GAMSAT is to all those that sit it. Unfortunately we have to remain vague in relation to the release date of results, as annoying as it for candidates. The reason is all related to the essay marking, unlike other tertiary examinations we do not mark the essays by computer we mark them with humans. In an effort to be fair to each person we actually mark your essays a minimum of three times, if we find that the marking is discrepant in any way then we mark again. This process is rather extensive and whilst we do our best to have it completed quickly delays can occur – this year the large increase in candidates has meant this process has taken longer than expected, and we are running a week over schedule. We would rather run late than rush the process and potentially be unfair to those who have spent a great deal of time, money and effort in sitting GAMSAT.
I apologise for the delay and want to reassure you that we do understand your frustration. I will email everyone with a release date and instructions very shortly, hopefully today – rest assured results are imminent, if not this Friday, then next Monday.
Won't be long now then 0 -

Hi guys,
I got a 65 yesterday which im delighted with. However, I cant take anything outside of Dublin for financial reasons and Im slightly worried that there was a huge uptake in numbers this year, is there any chance at all that both UCD/RCSI could go 65+? Or am I just being paranoid?
you are guaranteed a place in UCD and likely to get one in RCSI feel nervous for me hanging onto Limerick with 59 0 -

Ok guys I just threw this up hopefully to put all our minds at ease. Its the last 3 year breakdown of GAMSAT scores.
if you look at the final scores offered from all the colleges they are broadly the same (this doesnt include 2008 where the GAMSAT was still finding its feet in Ireland). I think there is just a small bit of concern because RCSI went up by a MASSIVE 3 points. but I don't think you'd see that across the board in the 1 year. Unless there is a statistical anomaly its just not possible.
Hope peoples minds are put at ease
2010 - Final Round 0
RC101 63* 64
DN102 60* 61*

I think I'll just assume that I've got the better score until I hear otherwise. The ignorance is a much happier place to be than what might be the alternative. I was fairly sick last year considering the rounding down might well have cost me a place in UL.
55.5 =/= 56

I got rounded up from 59.5 to 60 in the UK exam, but I cannot imagine the CAO saying "screw what your result sheet says, we're giving you a lower grade anyway".
I doubt you'll have much to worry about.0 -
