To get into medicine, we need 590 points in most places and in the best places 600! (and thats out of 600!)


I'd agree with you, but I have no idea what those figures mean... :oops:

but yeah, I agree with 38th- normally it is only in jest. and that's grand. I've told plenty of paddy the irishman jokes in my time...

We have this points system here, f*&king stupid, we do 7 subjects for our leaving certificate, each subject can earn up to 100 points, (i.e 100%), but we are graded on only 6 subjects, (they keep the highest test results (use only six) and they grade us on that). for example, my cousin was 100 points short for marine engineering here, so he went to england to do it and he was the equivalent of 100 points over what he needed.

i think the points system is similar for queens university in belfast, although it's several ( 8) ) years since my last application. which was to art college.  um, forget i spoke...

yeah, anyway, it is definately harder to get in to queens in belfast or trinity in dublin short of anything in england except certain. but not all, courses at cambridge and oxford.  for vetrinary medicine, dublin is the hardest in the world to get in to!!!

My youngest son grew up and lives in Ireland and has faffed up his final cert-the points system you guys mention I can readily identify with.

it really depends on the course and the university, to be honest. and unless it's changed since I applied, the queens point system isn't really anything like the one down south.
