Sure is.. Will they be out by 6? Someone previously said between 2.45 and 6 on this thread I think.. unless I've gone delirious which is entirely possible

Could just be hallucinating from lack of sleep :P Yeah I think that was said earlier alright. I'm not sure why I'm nervous, I didn't prepare well so am pretty sure I am not getting a good result.

Same, I also feel I've stayed up so long now I may as well hold out. One of the people that sat it last year said they didnt get an email til 7.25 but that their results were on the acer site at 2.45.. As long as they post results today though I'll be content at this rate

checks clock again, checks inbox again, checks boards again, checks gamsat again ... repeat until insane

I should have gone to bed hours ago. I'm going mad. Better come out today, another night of this will not be good.

I nearly fainted, 60 overall! 91 percentile. Congratulations to everyone and commiserations to those whom it didn't work out for remember this is only one step in the road, just think of this as your first test to get into medical school.

I got an overall score of 64

Still trying to make heads or tails of this . Ive just realised ive never actually thought about what result I was trying to achieve.

S**t just got real

Hey guys! Congrats to those of you who are happy and hardluck to those of you who are disappointed - aptitude tests are sometimes so crappy!!

I just got my results 54,64,50 which gives me 54. I really want limerick. However I do not intend to enter until September 2015 as I have to do my final year in college next year! 54 * is the highest UL has ever been .. And apparently last year In the second round people got in with 52 with the points being 53*.

Basically I'm just looking for some advice from someone who knows how the system works? I really am so new to this and would not to have to do the gamsat again but should I? I really just want UL!!

Also if I sit the gamsat again and do worse... Can I still use this years score to get in next year?

Please some help! Thanks 😊😊😊

DroghedaTutor

yes, your score is valid for two years.

i got 56 (81 in the essays!!) and am putting that in my back pocket now to apply for limerick next year. here's hoping the scores don't jump in the meantime because i don't fancy sitting gamsat again. i'm also applying for a place on the undergrad/hpat course next year and if i get that, i'll take it over the grad route. half the fees and slower pace. congratulations everyone!

Hi all, congrats & commiserations... The wait is finally over.
I cannot believe I got a score of 59, delighted, I honestly thought I'd be repeating in September and would be feeling the opposite emotions to what I'm feeling right now.

Does anyone know what to expect of the UCD cut-off? It was 57* last year meaning not everyone with 57 got in. Anyhow I'd be delighted to get UL. I guess we need to wait till August for the cut-offs.

Got an overall of 53 which I have to admit is better than I had anticipated. I'm hoping to get UL, what's peoples thoughts on my chances? I have to give 2 months notice where I work, I don't want to end up unemployed and then not getting in.

Really tough call, not all applicants on 53 got UL last year. If you've a good job that your happy in I seriously wouldn't risk it. However cao said the no. of applicants are down this year... You never know.

Got 53 overall - major disappointment. March was really tough. Have 57 from the UK sitting and hoping for UCC. Anyone else looking to get in to Cork?

Some advice on my position at 54 HopefulGEM??!! Should I repeat? Aiming for 2015 entry!

Confused1987

Got 53 total...first time sitting the exam and with no science background at all so just delighted to have got above 50!

Is that sort of score in with any sort of shout for cork? Limerick offered some 51 a place last year from what I believe!!

Hey, well I'm no advise expert. If I were you I'd defo sit the UK exam in sept. Bristol is a nice centre. I went up from 51 to 60! You've nothing to lose, especially if your applying to cao next year:)

Poppy1314

Got 55, fairly happy with it! Would really love to go to UCC though, does anybody know of anyone getting in with a score lower than 56 in recent years?

Round 1 score was 54 last year and 55* the year before. You might be lucky....

Confused1987

Sorry to go on, does anyone have any idea about last years UL and UCC various round scores?

As I said im on 53, don't know what to think!!

Everyone last year got in with a 53.

It was 53* in round 0, but dropped to 53 in round 1. UCC was 56*. Stayed like that I think!

I'm the same.. I'm on 54. I think doing the gamsat in September is a good idea.. You always have this years score to fall back on if you do worse but will have peace of mind if you do better! You could very well get in in round 1 or 2 in UL with that! But uk gamsat is often thought to be easier than the Irish one?? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

All the stats are on the CAO website:

CAO > Media and Statistics > points by year

You can choose round 0, round 1 etc.

Ahhh, fingers crossed!! Now to play the next waiting game....

pharmacrunch

Its still surreal!

Now the real thinking has to begin! Ill also have to tell work relatively soon eek

letsdothis

Well done to everyone that got the results the need, hope to see some of you in UCD (RCSI?!) in September... For everyone else, really consider doing the UK gamsat In September and give yourself two chances for next year.

Now that everyone else has results, seriously feels real for me too! Won't be long now. Also need to think about telling work shortly...

Congrats and commiserations to everyone who got results today! For those of you who are headed to UCD in September, the GEM2s have set up a facebook page for incoming GEM1s. Can't post the link but if you search UCD Graduate Entry Medicine Class 2018 you should find it!

Thanks for this. Would love to join this only I'd be outting myself to work colleagues slightly prematurely...
