Hello has anyone heard from UL yet?

No but had an email from NUIG today as part of the joint application process (I'm assuming the outcome also applies to both). Not sure what happens if you only applied to UL though but imagine you will hear soon. Good luck!

As someone who is already qualified overseas, this has been a very frustrating process. Perhaps hubris undid me, but I had hoped for a slightly better outcome! Well done to everyone else who has received places this year, and best of luck to everyone else who may apply again in the future.

Decided to post as I've seen a lot of talk about poor school grades and I wanted to show you can still get interviews! To this day I don't know how many 'points' I got at seconday school (irish leaving cert) as it wasn't worth me adding them up. I had no idea I could achieve academically.

Psychology is a second career for me, completing my undergrad as a mature student I achieved a 1st and even published my dissertation. I may not be naturally academically gifted but I've worked my ass off and here we are! I am so grateful for these opportunities but also overwhelmed and feeling like the pressure is on now

Good luck to everyone who got interviews and to those who didn't keep your heads up! There is no reason you can't come back and smash it next year (if that's what you choose to do)! I will probably be here again myself. In the meantime, let's all practice what we preach and look after ourselves

No I haven't but am assuming as it's a joint process. I did email to ask but no response yet. I know if you call Alma she will tell you over the phone but I haven't done this yet!

Thanks so much for letting me know. I emailed and I'm on the reserve list for both, they haven't told me where though! I might give Alma a call to see if she'll tell me my place!

I didn’t apply to Newcastle but interviewed at Surrey. They were aiming to share results after three weeks but said yesterday they will need a fourth week. I previously felt quite chilled about the whole thing but this wait has been really tough! I was hoping to have feedback from Surrey around what to improve for other interviews too. Are you doing anything nice to keep yourself distracted?

[JazzXOXO]

I also interviewed at Surrey. How did you find out they needed one more week? Did you contact them? I haven’t heard anything from them since I did my interview.

That's such a long time! Also so difficult to expect results at a certain time only to be told you need to wait longer - this is an emotionally draining process! I was finishing up a Masters so that fortunately kept me quite busy; I found out yesterday that I'm on a reserve list for Newcastle, but quite far down. Either way I was trying to view this as a practice year, and now just doing work on protecting my self esteem best wishes for Surrey!

I'm in shock and feeling so incredibly blessed to be in this position! I can't find a suitable emoji (prob as I don't know what I feel right now!) but I like batman so...

[LalliRed]

I also interviewed at Surrey. How did you find out they needed one more week? Did you contact them? I haven’t heard anything from them since I did my interview.

They put a post up on their Twitter page about it. They said they’re aiming to let everyone know by 6th May.
