Dublin 2024-2025 (c/o 2029 hopefuls)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Is a current student at UCD able to share what a true COA looks like for a first year international student? Possibly even share average housing prices? Guesstimates are totally fine 🙂
Yes, I too would really appreciate seeing an estimate for a first year international student. I built the following estimate from random gathering of forum comments and internet postings: 47,000 USD for tuition and then possibly a total of 74,000 USD (somewhere I read rent is like 375 euros per week) for the 9 month period inclusive of tuition and living expenses.

Did they already sent all the acceptances at this point? I haven't heard any updates of people getting accepted for about 2 weeks. My app still says decision pending which I'm unsure if I got waitlisted.

Hey - any current students out there that could offer an estimate on COL for a first year international student?

If any future/current students are looking for off-campus housing please let me know! I have a cat that I'm bringing with me and they mentioned that they don't allow pets in on-campus housing, so just looking for some roommates!
 
Can anyone find - or have you been told - the academic calendar for the vet school for this year? When is orientation, what dates are holidays? I'm not certain this site is for the vet school Key Dates - UCD Current Students

What I replied with above is for the entire school, so does apply to the vet school. The only thing that will be different is the date of orientation. They will let you know that closer to the start of term. It will be around then, but may be a week earlier.

Hi! Can you share a bit about your experience with full COA per an academic year at UCD? Obviously you aren’t a first year and your tuition is probably different but if you could do a little breakdown average of what certain things cost you on top of tuition would be amazing so I can get a better estimate for my year 🙂
 
Got an email my status changed! Status said reserve, assuming that is waitlist?
 
I got the exact same email and my status changed to reserve as well. Would like to know what it means as well
 
I got the same email and status update. Do you (or anyone) know if we will get an email with more information? Specifically wondering about a timeline, if we will know our spot on the list, and if there is any context for how much the list usually moves.
Reserve is their waitlist!

I sent them an email about this as soon as I got my update. Hopefully they will respond soon.
 
The timeline is you could be taken off the waitlist until classes start I’m pretty sure! After April 15th I’m sure it will move some with people declining offers
 
Just got a reply from admissions. Unfortunately, they are unable to advise where a person exactly is on the reserve list. I was also informed that offers often are made as far as into June and July.
 
I will be turning down my 4 year program seat so hopefully someone gets off the waitlist soon!
Appreciate it! Also it does make me wonder though if open spots are considered for all people on the waitlist or would the spot only go for international students and visa versa for a domestic spot opening up.

The 4 year and 5 year programs are separate, so if a 4 year spot opens up, it will go to a 4 year applicant. There are very few Irish applicants to the 4 year program, and there are a limited number of spots held for them. The majority (about 90%) of the spots are for North American students. For the 5 year program, the Irish students do not find out until about a week or so before school starts. That is all done through a government service based on their Leaving Cert results.
 
Has anyone else committed to Dublin, 4 year program? I’d love to get in contact with future classmates 🙂
 
I applied pretty late for the 5-year program for this fall. Is there any chance seats will be left, or will I automatically be waitlisted because they are likely filled?
