Should I apply

Hi,

I am in lower sixth, I have started to look at universitys but I have always wanted to go to Trinity Dublin. I am Irish and definiatley applying to Trinity I have one problem though. I go to school in England so instead of leaving certificate I do A levels. In Ireland they also have a point system, you can get max 100 points in exam, to study law in Trinity you have to have minimum 525 points, I do 3 exams so if I convert it I still wont have enough points, Will I don't know will I be able to apply as an international student because I have an Irish citezenship an Irish passport and the minute I open my mouth they will know I am Irish. I also have an Irish name. Please help what should I do?

I assume you're doing 3 A Levels?

Based on the website it says that you need to get 525 points. And, to get those points you can use 3 A2's and 1 AS, or 4 A2's.

So to get 525 points using 4 A Levels and an AS you would need to get...
A*A*A*D
A*A*AB

Using 3 A Levels and an AS it's quite impossible. As an A* is 150 points, so 3 A*'s is 450 points.

If you're doing A Level Maths, Further Maths, or Pure Maths you get an extra 25 points - so if you do one of those, that can boost your points, which would allow you to get in with 3 A levels and an AS.

Thanks the thing is I am definatley not taking maths, I have dyslexia so number and letters together aren't good, I have dyspraxia so I can't work with shapes and I also have dyscalculia

What A Levels ARE you taking?

If you're doing 4 AS's, then just take all 4 at A2 if you can, seeing as you're in lower sixth. Other than that, if you're doing 3 A Levels and an AS I don't think you'd get in.

For A level I am taking Phsycology, History and Drama
AS level I am taking Phsycology, History, Drama and English Language
