Hi hopefully I can help someone applying this year, 2016.
In 2014 I was awarded the Aim High scholarship, the college try to fundraise for at least one student each year to study medicine.
I had HEAR, SUSI, 540 LC points, sat my HPAT and I was offered a reduced point place, like the hear scheme but my fees are also covered. If you just apply through HEAR you wont get the extra financial support but there's a place for HEAR and for scholarships so do apply for everything.
SUSI covers the €3,000 student contribution and the scholarship pays the other fees (450 IT fees, 250 vaccination, 250 NUI matriculation etc..) I also get support to buy medical equipment and books which can be quite expensive and I have a great relationship with the Admissions office and everyone really looks out for me here.
RCSI Is an amazing place to study, as a third year Medical student I highly recommend it! Definitely apply if you are passionate about studying Medicine, It is tough but I've loved every minute of it and without this scholarship I may not have been able to attend RCSI at all.
To apply you need to take initiative and sort it out yourself, I wrote my personal statement, got a reference from my year head and sent RCSI a transcript of all of my results etc. and sent all of this myself to RCSI, don't wait for guidance counsellors because they're so busy!
I got an email just before the LC to say after my LC I'd hear back, and that was In August, when my 1st CAO offer was RC001-Medicine 5yrs; I was absolutely delighted as you can imagine. So if you're passionate about medicine and you might get HEAR, go for it!
Since my time here in RCSI I've done well in all exams, I've worked in medical research placements two summers in a row and I'm heading off to Africa to work in a medical clinic for 3 weeks... far from the stressful days of the LC thank god and I got my chance to prove that I could perform well in Medicine even though I'm coming in on a reduced cao points place. It's the chance we're all hoping for when we want to study medicine, I hope you get your chance too.
Ps no Interviews involved in 2014.
All the best with your studies! Any more questions feel free to ask
