    Yeah, I'd be a bit dubious about collecting post early tbh ... maybe in the past at some little rural post office where Mrs. McGillicuddy is the postmistress and sure she went to school with your granny and knows you're waiting and slips them out the kitchen door to you early! :pac:

    Most post offices aren't in any position to cope with people wandering in and demanding their post early (for whatever reason) though.

    I had BESS in Trinity down, but seeing as I'm estimating I got 100 points less than I actually need, I doubt that's going to happen.

    My other choices are a jumble of commerce degrees dotted all over the country. Each have pros and cons - some are closer to home, allowing me to continue showjumping, the only sport I've ever been good at (:rolleyes:) others are further away, but have better reputations.

    Because of the fact I don't have one "dream" course down, I'm feeling entirely emotionless about the whole thing. Other than prewarning my mother not to tell every single person she meets tomorrow how many points I got, I haven't thought of it much at all. My highest course is 580, my lowest is 350, and wouldn't mind either.

    I've actually come here to psych myself up a bit, though knowing me I'll be emotional about it, whatever the outcome... :):):)

    Our school starts giving them out at 10, but as far as I know they arrive in the school a good bit before that.

    Lol, whats worse is that most teachers who are interested will already know how you have done. I'll b heading in tm to grab my classes results (secretary photocopies them) ill know before students do.

    Not as far as I know. External candidates get theirs posted out and I'm sure the school post them out if they're not collected after a certain amount of time.

    So happy I should've definitely gotten my first course unless the points change drastically! Was disappointed with one or two individual results but other results I weren't expecting made up for that!

    Best of luck everyone else!

    I didn't do HEAR but read it usually offers a max of 25 extra points so you might just be on the line.

    No way of knowing until Monday. Depends on how many HEAR places are on the course and how many other HEAR students have applied. And of course the points could change.

    Fingers crossed :)

    499 - 11 off UCD Science, 1 off Trinity Science. Hopefully the points drastically change so I can get UCD Science, literally could go up a grade in any subject and get my first choice. Hope the script viewings will help me.

    532 here. Surprised with 2 results, thought I was getting H1 in both but ended up with H3s. But delighted that I met the min entry requirement in Maths. I still think I have a really good chance of getting in with the Hear scheme.

    Absolutely delighted :D 20 more points than my first choice was last year so I hope I'm in the clear. Got a H4 in maths for my course requirements too which I couldn't believe. Well done everyone, I hope you're all happy with them :)
