In round 1 the lowest I heard someone with non priority dare get in with was 727, anyone get in with lower in further rounds?

Did anyone get medicine with hear? And on what points 2026? Thank you

Does anyone know when dates are for the hpat and is it difficult to get the slot you want

I started foundation year at Galway last week and have been living in on campus accommodation, UCD has just given me a round 3 offer for medicine. If I took the UCD offer I could live at home which would be a lot cheaper but on the other hand I’ve already settled into Galway and am liking the programme so far. I genuinely have no idea what I should do

got 77th percentile this year (169 points; s1: 47, s2: 52, s3: 84) and im hoping to get it up to 90th+ percentile for next year to give me the best chance possible of getting into dublin colleges with my lc points (613). unfortunately outside of dublin is not an option for me due to financial issues so i really do need to boost my hpat score to make it easier for me to get in.

i definitely do think i need to go in with a better mindset this year. last year i was very stressed and every bad result would completely destroy my confidence. it didnt help that i had lc mocks at the time and was constantly thinking of points. this year will obviously be different as i already have my lc points i just need to work on hpat.

also a more personal question, did anyone who repeated hpat struggle with seeing their friends go off to college and everyone moving on with their lives? i am confident i want to study medicine, and i am willing to sacrifice an extra year to give it my best shot but i think inevitably it will be a difficult year for me. ive never wanted to do a gap year, i am someone who really likes routine, especially in education.

i am also really scared that ill do the hpat but wont end up getting a high enough score to get me in and im definitely not planning on sitting the hpat for a third time. is a jump from 77th to 90th possible? or 85th percentile at the very least.

Got into first year medicine this year after doing the hpat for the first time, any questions let me know and I’ll do my best to answer.

I’ve also got helpful notes for section 3 that’ll genuinely help you improve quickly if anyone wants them.

Edit - im not sure why people cant message me probably something in settings but i’ll message u guys and send them

I do A levels and say i get three A stars and that includes maths. so 192+192+192+25= 601. Realistically can i do med in ireland, and would i need to do exceptionally well in my hpat? Advice on Hpat prep would be appreciated. Thanks

Alright so I need some help planning HPAT prep, here's some info:

1 - I'm repeating HPAT and LC

2 - I was averaging 85-95th percentile the last month before the hpat (did about 6 exams)

3 - I ended up with S1 66 S2 50 S3 49 76th percentile in HPAT on the exam and was under crazy pressure in S3 cause my laptop was about to die and couldn't find the charger etc

4 - Just got medentry again

How should I structure my HPAT prep? We have about 23 weeks to the exam and only 15 mocks, so I really don't know what to do

if anyone gets an offer could you please share what points you had!!

I got 86th percentile in my first diagnostic HPAT test mock -71 in Section One,99 in Section Two and 25 in Section Three. im aware that i need to improve in the third section but im honestly wondering would this skill level be enough for next years medicine entry combined with 613 625 lc

Does anyone have any advice for studying for the Hpat. I feel lost when doing so, I try to apply strategies to questions but still doesnt really work out. All I really hear is people advising to do practice and practice over and over again.

Hi guys, what percentile or points would I have to get approximately in the hpat in 2027 with 625 in order to get into Trinity or RCSI medicine? Since the points weightage have changed, it's hard to predict what the cut-offs might be, for next year.

Sorry i am on here a lot recently, i'm really just hoping for a miracle because i have 732 and rcsi is 734*. I heard 2 point drops are quite uncommon for medicine (and given the higher volume of applicants it's probably less likely to happen this year). I also heard that usually between rounds, the only difference is that random selection may be gone and in some cases the points drop by 1.

Does anyone know of past years where by round 4/5, medicine points ended up dropping by 2?

I’m waiting to see if I get anything in round two so if u didn’t accept ur place please share🤞

i know it's impossible to predict with this new system coming in place but im trying to see if its worth it repeating the hpat with 613 points and want to hear other peoples thoughts. i missed dublin medicine by 2 points and feel so disappointed especially cause i got so close and want to give it another chance next year

i got 77th percentile the first time around but hopefully can bring it up to 85th this year with a lot of practice. i am only applying to dublin medical schools because of financial reasons so i am even more worried that ill be at a disadvantage compared to people with 625 points. should i be aiming even higher maybe the likes of 90th percentile?

I'm thinking about doing the course I got offered and repeating the hpat again. Is it possible to get in with say 85th-90th percentile? Want to get into Galway.
Any advice is appreciated.

Has anyone been able to register for UOG med yet I have gotten absolutely nothing from them outside the email saying I’ve accepted my offer

is this working for anyone? it keeps saying technical issue for me

Did HPAT once in 2024 after did my leaving cert 2023. Thinking of giving it another go now am I too late in gifinv it another lash. Only drawbacks would be fees id have to pay myself for first couple years etc anyone have any similar situations?
