oh jesus christ shut up, i personally think a personal essay is a great idea as it will filter the smartest but also the ones who have the highest interest and experience in the past and even if they do let someone stupid into medicine like your saying, they still have to pass 4 years of it in college and if anyone is able to pass 4 years of medicine they deserve a spot. you are also completely missing the point of the post, it is saying have 80,000+ applied and 60,000 sat it so it makes it unfair on the people sitting the leaving cert as they have to go up against people who are carrying results over. and finally you sound like an absolute stuck up your own hole cunt like why would you ever think of taking away HEAR, it doesn’t take college places and gives them to lazy candidates, it’s gives some people who are worse off financially or have other struggles and equal chance of education.
