    Is this all done in order? It seems to be. All non-rc's that have got in so far all seem to have low merit scores. Or have i missed non-rc's with scores of 200+ getting in from c15?

    Congrats to you both my merit no getttin closer(rc~730s) might not be good enough for this round but at least all hope not lost yet.

    Hi everyone, I've never posted here but have been following since I applied last year. Congrats to everyone who got the call......lucky things!! I'm RC and have a merit score of 100-120, medical passed and vetting sent end of August. Starting to get a bit nervous that there's something up with my vetting! Wish they would put me out of my misery!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 57 ✭✭gazzabelfast


    im really chuffed for all you guys a little concerned that the rc numbers are so high already, any non rc got a call this time round yet?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 73 ✭✭hotel glo

    I'm thinking the same. Possibly the rc pool is nearly empty and recruitment are seeing how many rc's they get to accept before they phone the non-rc's. Maybe they saw this coming and thats why c16 started early. Look at us poirot's trying to put all the pieces together! Lol probably totally off the mark! Lol

    Add 2 + 2 and you'll get any number you want ( as long as it's not 4 ):D

    Hi all!

    Got the call today, absolutely chuffed to get in! Have no idea of my merit score, but I am RC. The whole process took about a year from start to finish so i think the best advice to any potential candidates is to just apply and try and forget about it! Honestly I really didnt think about it after doing my medical before christmas!

    Look forward to seein the rest of you hooligans in garnerville next month, im planing on watching all the police acadamy movies back to back to prepare! :D

    First time poster, long time reader so hello folks.

    Got the call from c15 yesterday for entry to Garnerville. Naturally delighted but now some questions. The lady I spoke to was not very specific and also my private place suddenly was not so private.... sigh. Anyway-

    What I wanted to know was:

    (a) I would like to defer, I understand that this is done by declining the offer and attaching a letter explaining why I want to defer. What are my chances and is there anything I should be aware of?

    (b) When should I expect to receive written confirmation (a week, 2 weeks? I assume soon because the training would start fairly sharp really) so I can tick 'No' and send this back as the lady on the phone explained?

    I have tried external appointments today and yesterday for these questions but have got no answer from the phones!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 bigusredus


    Been waiting patiently ,as always advised by Deloitte and Psni themselves.Finally decided to contact vetting ,(Rc merit pool 70's-80's),response was as expected.....Vetting ongoing!Frustrating.:(Always been a good boy!!though 4 previous addresses.Don't think they ever exhaust Rc lists or Non Rc lists, if vetting finishes your case first , then external appointments may call you as and when.all those with low merits like myself, still waiting on outcomes of vetting should heed that c14 candidates who applied in April 2008 have also been placed in late 2009/2010:eek:So hang on in there by yer toenails!!So best advise is don't drop the ball in your current work/life as it's clear there is no true beginning or end of a campaign,well not one that we'll ever hear about.unless dear john arrives.Just my own frustrated blah blah blah:rolleyes:

    Hi guys this is my first time posting on here, just wondering if u guys can give me any advice? I got a wait an c letter sent out till me in October after I got my role plays, then in januaray I got my vetting posted out to me an straight away next day got a date for my medical posted out, have my vetting forms sent off a month ago and got a letter this week telling me I passed my medical and psni recruitment would be intouch shortly to say what happens next, I rang up an got my merit number between 210 and 235 non rc. Do u guys think I stand any sort of a chance on getting a call r not? Your advice would be much appreciated oh and congrats on all you's who got the call well done! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 57 ✭✭gazzabelfast


    that score seems like it would be ok. But do expect a long wait till you hear what happens next, eg myself merit around 180-200 (cant remember exactly its on another thread somewhere) my medical was in november and my forms went away at the end of Nov.

    its a waiting game now for you, and many others thompson.:(:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 thompson11


    Thanks for ur help, fingers crossed and hope I get it then at some stage! What way is the pool worked exactly, for instance I'm between 210 and 235 non rc, is there also in that 200 below me rc's as well, our is there just non rc's below me, don't fully understand it? But yea I'll settle down now for the long wait an see what happens, wen do they take the last intake in do you know? :confused:

    Hi, the merit list has everyone in order, regardless of rc or non-rc. Looking at the merit numbers of those being called who have posted on this site, non-rcs with merits of below 100 are being called at present, with rcs between 200 and 750ish getting the call. This is all subject to the black art they call vetting!

    For instance my merit is non-rc 140s. Vetting sent off in August, medical passed shortly thereafter. Still no call. Vetting is the big wait and see. I have heard of someone from C14 (in 2008) with merit around 300 only getting the call in the past few weeks. Therefore no-one really knows when recruiting from one campaign ends and the new one starts. They seem to merge as and when required.

    My take on it is that they would not go to the expense of doing vetting and a medical unless you are in the running. That said it will take as long as it takes. Consider yourself in with a chance. But don't expect anyone on here to be able to tell when you will get the call. We are in the dark on that 6 million dollar question.

    Good luck with the wait and keep checking the forum for merit places of those being called.

    First time posting, however I've been reading these boards since I applied at the start of C15 way back in 2009.

    Got my call this morning, RC - merit score in the low 600's, still can't believe it. Got some friends who are RC and lower merit scores, so it must literally all be down to the vetting. Good luck everyone, and see some of you in Hotel Garnerville :D

    Hi all, I got the call for february intake, but requested a deferral to march due to a current work/study committment, which was granted.

    Congratulations to all who got the call for March, and ill see you all in hotel garnerville, i cant wait now!!!!....wont be long!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 130 ✭✭rio2009


    Anyone know if there is an april intake , was wondering if I got the call would i be able to defer for a couple of months as wife is expecting a baby.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 75 ✭✭MrsMikeLowrey


    What do we reckon? Will calls go out this week? I reeeeeeeeeally need to know now, my patience is running thin! :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 107 ✭✭unistudent2009


    Its this week or next the calls should go out (provided that there is an intake)!!! Fingers crossed!

    Tell me you are going as much insane as I am??? Have you been doing much fitness training?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 107 ✭✭unistudent2009


    Tell me you are going as much insane as I am??? Have you been doing much fitness training?

    My fitness is good. I do a lot of cardio training anyway but need to start focusing on building muscle! PCA would be good if I was asked to do it tomorrow!

    Insanity is my new best friend. It's not knowing whether I'm in or out that is causing me to over think the whole process. I would love to know one way or another if I was getting a job or not.

    The fact that there's hundreds of people in the same situation as us is stopping me from ripping my hair out.

    You are definately one stage ahead of me then, I have never been into fitness and am really struggling to get up going, its the part that is stressing me out more than anything else!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 107 ✭✭unistudent2009


    I wouldnt worry too much about it. When you get the call it will probably motivate you beyond all belief.

    From what others have said here, its not about how fit you are going in. As long you show committment and progression with your fitness while your in then you'll be fine.
