You're Irish Grades are transferred into Tariff points for the UCAS application, so they can be compared to A Level Results.

They do, you need an A in science

I think I got an A in science...While I was checking the St . Andrews university Scotland website it says you have to get 560 points to even attend the uni and A1 in specific subjects.in junior cert you have to get at least a B in maths English and science.:(
Meanwhile my prediction for English is a C or a D

But the Irish system has two different A grades and three different B grades?

Also an A grade in the A Levels are for 80%, a B grade is for 70%.

In the Leaving Cert, an A2 is achieved at 85%.

You can't really compare them?

In imperial college London you have to get 6 As to get into medicine

Doesn't make any sense to me!

Also 5 As? What about your 6th subject

I don't know haha!
Im just saying thats what they ask for, 5 As. I presume you can get what you want in the 6th haha.
I personally think its easier to get a place in ireland as with a lc of roughly 570+ you only need a good hpat and you're in

Yeah besides to get into the UK you need to do a BMAT or a UKCAT, and you need to write a personal statement and possible do an interview do! Seems like an awful lot of work!
