Everything HPAT and medicine for 2010 (R1 points post #1247)

Calum196

I thought we could start a new thread for this for 2010...

Does anyone know what the story is with the UMAT preparation material ?, They have been saying that they are updating it for weeks now...

Anyway, who's applying to do the HPAT this year ? How are you feeling ?

The points for Trinity Medicine were 723 last year.

It was 728 on the first round, and dropped a point or two for each subsequent round of offers, ending at 723.

Welcome to Boards, pr0.

There are no guarantees at this stage, but given that 728 was the Trinity first round score last year, and it was the highest of the colleges for entry scores, you should be feeling pretty optimistic I'd say.

Did you do your LC last year?

The points for Trinity Medicine were 723 last year.

I'm remaining sceptical over those points to be honest too high by comparison to last years points, even at the first round.

Gap between Trinity and UCD is also suspiciously small, usually even with CAO points it's been a little wider in the past.

I know it's tough but without a given source I advise the majority of posters to ignore what's posted. Last year someone set up a CAO twitter and posted fake med points totals to a few people, causing a lot of needless stress. I was in your position last year (granted I wasn't hoping for medicine) and it wasn't until someone scanned the copy of the independent that I knew for definite where I stood.

Most likely a leaked newspaper source.

I need to find out NUIG med points!!

HEAR. It's not no. Why would it be sure?

Believe me I know it's high! Very depressing. It's not speculation and I have no reason to lie, I suppose you'll see for yourselves on Monday.

Looks very high to me.

No-one knows for sure, anyway, until Monday, so speculation is pretty pointless.

I have 707. Do we think I'll get somewhere with the access programme? Says a point reduction of around 10-20% is normal, so I need 1/2%...

how many undergrad medicine places is there in ireland? not graduate entry, just undergrad entry

I checked this for myself 2 years ago by emailing the 5 colleges. As far as I remember it was 450. I don't think it could have changed significantly since then..

but the amount of students getting 550 or above has dropped also from 2.5-2.3 which may not seem significant but thats an 8% decrease (.2 is 8% of 2.5).The points may stay around the same...its not out of the equation

Oh right, I didnt know that. Theyll probably stay around the same so

Just wondering what degree of change we are expecting in points this year?
What would you say the points for Trinity will be?
Surely it can't be too much higher than last year?!

Id say itll be maybe 5 points more. theres a 10percent increase in applicants from last year. i know this may not constitute an increase, but the applicants wont bring down the points as most of them will have an idea that they will be close or over the points threshold, otherwise they probably wouldnt apply

who.dunnit

Best of luck to all those waiting for the offers on Monday! Just wondering if anyone hear has heard of first dents/pharmacists etc in any college who did a bad hpat last year but got very good lc results. they went off to college for the year and then repeated the hpat back whenever it was on. So they can't be discriminated against and not allowed into med but does that mean their 2nd year class will be alot smaller and hence fewer dentists/pharmacist graduating in a few years time?? just a thought!!

wouldbedoc

I know there's really only 3 days left but the wait feels painstakingly long:( I hope there won't be too much deviation from the first round last year-live in hope I guess

i got 580 and A1s in bio, ag science and an A2 in chem, i didnt do physics but got an A2 in higher maths

A certain amount of people get offered the 5 year course, as long as they've done 2 sciences, then depending on their combined LC/HPAT results (the top whatever percentage are offered the 5 year).
Do premed tho :P

If you did the 2 science subjects in the same sitting of the leaving cert(ie the leaving cert year youre using to calculate your points) then no, i think you can skip pre med

I'm just wondering if I DO do premed, would it be possible to transfer to cork next year assuming I pass premed Chemistry?

Thanks

You'd really be best off contacting the UCC medicine/admissions department with a question like that tbh.

Well done everyone on yere results today!
