CAO must clarify results posting debacle

AS a Leaving Certificate student who has applied for medicine, I deem it necessary to draw attention to the current situation affecting medicine applicants.

Approximately, 3,000 students sat the HPAT aptitude test last February, which is compulsory for all medicine applicants and worth a potential 300 points out of a total of 860 (the other 560 being made up of Leaving Cert points, with 20% weighting for every 10 points earned after 550 LC points).

We are due to receive these results in June after the exams, and these will largely dictate our chances of receiving an offer in a medicine course.
