    Hi Guys - new to the thread, wish I'd discovered it earlier - Great resource of info!

    I was wondering, is there anyone out there who has been offered a mature entry place in Dublin, but who would prefer a place in Cork??
    If so please let me know!
    Thanks!

    All mature entry applicants have to sit the Hpat. As far as I know, NUIG call the top 20 highest scoring applicants from the mature entry cohort for interview. I stress that these are the top 20 (or so) Hpat scores from people who are applying as mature students, not people who sit the heat in general. UCD are similar in that they set a minimum Hpat score in order to be eligible to be called for interview.

    In general then for the other colleges you have to effectively submit a portfolio which includes a personal statement, your cv, academic transcripts as proof any previous education / qualifications, references and evidence of your previous work / voluntary experience, and basically anything else you deem valid for supporting your application.

    Hi there,

    Firstly congrats to all those who succeed in securing a place in medicine this year.

    I'm extremely interested in studying medicine, has always been an obsession and dream of mine. I was wondering for those who just got accepted , could you provide some insight about your application.

    What (if any) degree did you have?
    What volunteer experience did you have (how long have you been volunteering?
    Did you have any clinical experience?
    How did you HPAT go? (Percentile you placed in?)


    Any information you could provide that you think is important for an application please share.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey I'm hoping to apply as a mature student this year but am eligible to apply through the graduate entry.. I'm wondering if all the colleges still accept you through this entry route despite eligibility for the gamsat?

    Hi Claire,
    I went the mature route myself but am pretty certain you can apply either way for most of the colleges , as I have heard of people doing that. However I do know that UL take grad entry only.

    If you call the admissions offices of the medical schools they should be able to quickly answer that for definite...

    I was there last year and it more an informal night, so a tie is unnecessary. Smart casual perhaps.
