Applying to Irish universities with A levels

i got into science at trinity, but not veterinary and i don't know what i'm going to do yet.
I know irish applicants can redo their leaving cert to get more points, but if i do that does it mean i have to resit everything? even the ones i did well in, or can i just resit the modules i didn't do aswell in? I got 3A's and a B, but would have needed 2A*'s 2A's :/

For points purposes, you would have to resit everything. This is because Irish students have to repeat everything and can't pick and choose. You're about 45 points short, and when you're at over 500 in the first place it's really difficult to drastically improve. Only repeat if you really think you can make up that ground. Otherwise, consider that you could go on to do a post-grad entry?

Congrats, you going to accept it?

I don't know how your own resit system works, but surely you would only need to repeat A2's, not AS as well, because you are only counting A2's for points purposes. If you're counting an AS as a subject requirement, it's fine as it is as long as you passed it, as it isn't counted for points, only matriculation.

okay i get that, but i mean i took a few of my a2 exams in january, and the rest in june, but surely that isn't classed as one sitting? so how did they allow it? it was the first time for them all (except an AS resit)

They are done within the same academic year, so that's okay. If you took some of them before your final year of school (er the class before sixth form?? confusing to me), THEN you would run into problems, as they don't allow that.

If I were to do maths I get extra points, right? But would I Have to get a top grade in that?

And would I need to do 3 a levels, or 4?

what are the chances do you think of getting into a course that says 450 points, and I've got 475 points? Are there only a limited number of places on each course for people from the UK and abroad?

As far as I know you get 25 Points as long as you pass maths, regardless of the grade. That said it if you're not strong in maths and say get a C (100 points) even with the 25 extra points it would have been better to take something else and get an A (135 points.) Really, corny as it sounds, take a subject you enjoy which you're more likely to excel in.

You don't need 4 A Levels (you can just count a different As Level) but for highly competitive courses like Law, Medicine etc, it's easier with 4.

Is anyone applying for Halls, if so when you registered did your entrance year and course show up on the data they had for you? Mine didn't and I'm wondered if this is just updated later for orientation or do I need to contact TCD and get it updated before continuing my application...

I've visited Trinity College and simply loved it <3
If you want to apply for medicine in Ireland, you have to sit the HPSAT, right?
Does anyone have experiences with it?
Is it worth preparing although they say you shouldn't / can't?
Is the Royal College of Surgeons good?

Thx for your help
