    Have Faith! It was only that I was incessant! She said I would receive an email in 'a couple of weeks!' So that must be the painstaking process! What did you apply for in arts?

    Ok! I really hope it is your year! Sorry I misread that! Well, maybe it's just the arts decisions that are back? Maybe they do it in lots! Either way you will know! Emma is straight up! She will tell you either way! Best if luck! I hope you get the place

    Received an offer from DIT at the end of the interview over the phone, am now sweating it out waiting for DCU to get back to me about my first choice. The waiting is putting years on me. Unbearable!

    I've seen quite a few people saying that they have received emails from UCD about their acceptances to chosen courses. Any word on similar emails coming from UCC? I was told already I would be offered a place but it would be wonderful to have it in writing I guess :D.

    Congrats on the offers and good luck in the interviews guys. I received emails today that I have been unsuccessful in two applications. I didn't even get to the interviews unfortunately. :( Hopefully I can improve my application for next year.

    Well done to everyone getting accepted into courses! And to anyone else waiting, lets hope we hear soon enough! I got an email from ucd to say that they hadnt received the decisions on vet nursing yet and could be the end of may now before I find out!! Does anyone know if we find out....regardless if it's good or dare I say bad news???

    I received an offer for a course in RCSI and only have 3 weeks to accept it (and pay a 1k deposit!) :/ This puts pressure on me as there are other interviews I am expecting to be called for. I contacted these other colleges and they said they were still sorting out applications. I now feel as if I will have to refuse the offer and bank on getting one of the other courses (which I would prefer). I applied through UCAS also and found that application process to be much more efficient, having received word from all 5 colleges I applied to in March and within 2 weeks of each other (and having until August to accept offers!). I would like to stay in Dublin though and it would be a shame to have to move having gotten an offer here.

    I just want to wish all you prospective mature students good luck with your applications.

    I'm a mature student doing a BA in St Pats Drumcondra and I'm just finished first year (exams week after next).

    I'm really happy that I'm doing this course and the lecturers love us because they have someone to answer their questions and interact with them. We(the matures) all sit at the front and the kids are all up behind us.

    If you do get a place, enjoy every minute of it. First year flew by and I expect the next two will go quickly too.

    was told today that the decisions for TCD psychology mature applicants have just come in so we should be informed early next week! also UL said that they were hoping to make offers for same, around 2 weeks from closing date of applications which suggests that we could be hearing from them next week also....fingers crossed! NUIG have yet to decide on msap cut offs.

    Did you get an email or was it just a letter? I did an interview for Computer Networks in LIT last week, so I'm waiting for confirmation of a place. If it's by letter I can stop refreshing Gmail every few minutes :)
