    Just wondering if anyone here applied through them, when you applied and whether you've heard back as yet? I applied 3 weeks ago and to date all I've gotten was a little generic text that they send to everyone saying they've gotten your application but no application number or anything like that. If you phone to ask about your application they point blank refuse to discuss anything with you apart from saying they have thousands of applications. Supposedly the applications are done on a first come, first served basis.

    Luckily UCC wait until January for the €2,000 student fee otherwise a lot of students could be in a bit of a messy situation.

    They get thousands of applications. They deal on a first come first served, and if you forget some documents, they put you to the back of the queue when they recieve them, as you didnt send it a complete application. You just have to be patient tbh.

    Yeah, I know they get thousands of applications. When I put my application in at the main counter at their offices I asked whether they had gotten lots of applications and was told there were about 900 before my application so I am in the first 1000. Luckily I double and triple checked and included all the requested documents. Odd however that when they get the applications they don't actually send out an application number, when I asked I was told once they get your application they will send such a letter within a week or two. Instead all I got was a generic text with no application number, lol.
