Trinity college Dublin EU student

Hey, I am a student from Italy in my final year at highschool. I wanted to apply for Trinity and registered myself already to the CAO platform. Now however I am a bit confused about what additional "supporting documents" I should send them. I will get my final results in fact only in July... It is necessary to send for instance a highschool transcript, personal statement...? (on what basis will they consider me, if the don't have any results from me?) And is that true, that I really have to send them my results with the post, and not an email?
Thank you very much, I would love to get an answer

Just on the basis of how they will consider you. Irish applicants all take the national exams (Leaving Cert) in summer. Those exams are used by the universities as direct entrance exams with the highest scoring applicants getting the places. They try to adapt/convert your Italian scores so you join in that competition. Check with the college if they want other supporting documents, but they will likely only be interested in your exam results and only consider you when your exam scores can be compared to everyone else's, in August. They don't want personal statements you might or might not have written yourself - from UK, Irish or EU applicants - just high exam scores. If there are 100 places for your course, 500 applicants for it, and your exam scores put you at position 92, then the place is yours.
