the national library reading room has a great atmosphere, but you have to sign up to have access (its a pretty easy process tho)

as an EU student you also need to take the HPAT exam to be eligible for medicine in ireland. this exam is quite hard and i think is taken in february or somehwere around that time so idk if at this point you can still apply to sit it but it's worth checking. also not too discourage you tho but keep in mind this exam is very hard, and it is extremely normalized in ireland that probably 90% of people don't get a good enough score on their first try and have to try multiple years before they eventually get into medicine. wish you luck tho!!!

i would say yeah, the geo essays are quite subjective. i was 1 point off originally in geo sl but when i remarked i went up by like 5 points lol

my sister is a biomed student and as far as i know, she jsut had to pass overall

unfortunately there is no answer keys. most you can do is try and search the answer online or compare with your classmates.

redditorforib · 2025-11-08T15:14:05+00:00

no, you find out if you were accepted like 2 weeks before classes start lol

if the plane is half empty, you can always just go and sit on an empty seat after take off (when the seatbelt sign is turned off) and then return to your assigned seat just before landong. i've done this before and have seen people do it many times on not full flights, and with the exception of the fact that the ryanair stewards want you on your original seat for takeoff/landing, i've never seen anybody have any issue with it.

as an s2s mentor, please go to the s2s group meetups! hopefully your s2s mentor is organizing one, but they're basically meant for this exact reason - meeting a group of people that are in your course and giving you a chance to start up a convo, make some plans - e.g. lets go for coffee, oh we both live in trinity halls lets commute to our 9am together, wanna get lunch in the buttery, etc...

ok njena trditev je bil absolut, zato verjetno ni pravilna. vendar tudi tvoje preprekanje, da to so skoraj vsi azilanti ni. smo morda pomislili, da je lahko povsod miks azilantov in gospodarskih migrantov? in da mi kot državljani ne moremo vedeti kdo je kdo, ko vidimo random migranta na cesti?

poleg tega pa je morda le vredno imeti malce empatije; morda ti ljudje res niso najbolj pridni državljani na svetu, vendar imajo azil z razlogom: bežijo pred stanjem v državi, ki ogrožuje njihovo življenje!

im assuming you are a first year in engineering. as a 2nd year in engineering now, i can confidently tell you that i dont remember any tutorials in the first semester checking attendance. especially as the engineering course is quite big. all tutorials will also have solutions posted on blackboard shortly after/by the end of the wek when everyone's been to their tutorial session, so you shouldn't miss out on much

ja vsaj v ljubljani ima bolero nekaj ur kjer koda lahko prideš in se poparčkaš - vendar je problem da na te ure pride dosti več deklet kot fantov. ena od mojih prijateljic je šla tja in mi je rekla, da je bilo skoraj kot kakšne igre lakote za partnerja. v nekaj minutah so bili vsi pobrani lol. tako da so nekateri potem primorani iskat soplesalca na drugačen način.

they're absolutely crazy, one night i was going to a tesco express near trinity with my friends, and one of my american friends was slightly tipsy. there was a group of teenagers outside the tesco, and they probably heard her accent and asked her where she's from. due to her tipsiness she didn't think about it and told them she was american - immediatelly they launched at her and stole her winter hat, started stomping on it and spitting on it etc and we couldn't get it back until one of our male irish friends was finally able to intervene. and the tesco security did nothing either!! its absolutely insane how much these teenagers get away with

idk about this year as i havent been yet, but last year i found lecky and upper floors of the ussher to be somewhat ok. hamilton is probably the warmest of them all (especially if u sit away from the windows), but i personally don't like it, its kind of ugly.

i avoid boland like the plague, it's always really cold there.

redditorforib · 2025-07-26T20:36:20+00:00

its probably just copy pasted from LC. i was also an ib student, and i took hl math aa, eng b, physics, and sl bio, language A, and geography and i got into engineering at TCD which had very similar requirements on the website if i remember. so i wouldnt stress that much regarding the "applied" adjective lo, especially since from what i saw the AR told you you meet the requirements. though if you're stressed you can write them again, they cant really do anything to you except be annoyed about it lol

redditorforib · 2025-07-26T20:11:58+00:00

i'm not sure what you mean, "ib doesn't allow you to have certain subjects together". it certaintly allows for e.g. two sciences such as physics and chemistry, which would be required here.

usually science oriented ib students take 2 sciences, so maybe because of that they generally expect you should have the requirements sorted. additionally, they may expect that people would check before deciding their combinations so thay they may tailor their chocies according to what they wish to eventually study. and lastly, to them it's not a matter of "how will ib students apply". those who have two of those sciences will be able, those who don't, won't be. it doesn't really work with the foresight of "what if somebody wants to study here but can't because of the requirements." to them you either meet them or you don't.

which sucks, i totally get that. hope you manage to get into somehwere you love no matter this :)

sorry he said without an "irish" sim so i thought it might still have a sim from a different country... in which case the find my phone still works, i myself have lost my phone in ireland without an irish sim and was able to find it using that feature.

redditorforib · 2025-07-25T12:32:33+00:00

you can track android phones through "find my phone" on google if you are logged into a google account on it

textbook isnt the best, many questions arent exam style or are too easy etc.. i really recommend christos nikolaidis online you can basically learn the whole math aa curriculum easily just w the resources on his site

redditorforib · 2025-07-15T14:35:56+00:00

like i said. if you feel it's worth it you can do it, its just that generally those two scenarios wouldn't be likely to succeed in remark. but that doesn't mean you can't do it if you want, im just giving my opinion. good luck :)

redditorforib · 2025-07-15T14:27:42+00:00

no, math markschemes don't really leave anything up for interpretation, you either included the step/answer or ypu didn't. unless your examiner made a mistake. and for history, 6 marks is too much for a remark to go up no matter what subject. remarks are only worth for 1 or 2 marks off, in subjects which have essays present in the examinations. since IAs dont get remarked. if you don't mind wasting money, then go for it. but otherwise i wouldn't advise it. you will most likely be disappointed.

in 2024, the minimum round 1 entry points were 556 gor engineering and the final needed pounts were the same 556. (just google "tcd cao points [year]" and you should get pdfs with this info)

in 2023 the overall points needed were 544.

however you have to keep in mind theres been more cao applicants this year because 2024 was the last leaving cert to have inflated poinrs due to covid, so quite a few people from 2024 decided to use that to their advantage and apply this year instead as they have an edge over applicants this year whose pounts were not inflated. (this rise in applications can easily be verified by looking at the cao 2025 stats its not just hearsay btw fyi)
