Asking Students How They Got Into Trinity College Dublin

So I went back to campus at Trinity College Dublin and interviewed the students to know how they got into the most prestigious university in Ireland and one of the top 100 universities in the world.
Hope you guys enjoy ッ

Thank you so much, Agathe! I will see you around campus!! 😄

I used Google Maps bro

The easy way to get in 💀😂

A few months ago, when I saw this video, I was praying to God to get into Trinity College Dublin. And now, here I am with an offer letter from TCD for MSc Computer Science - Data Science for September 2024. PS: Anyone joining the same batch can connect with me here.

Im here!!! So excited! I'm in Msc Cse - Future Network Systems

I was expecting more typical Irish accents like the ginger. I was shocked that so many sound similar to the standard American accent.

[@MarioFabelo]

Yeah, same for me to be honest. Everyone told me I wouldn’t understand Irish accent and here I am 😂

[@sophiez6377]

There are so many American exchange students in trinity

¡Muy buen video Fab! Pero aún espero el ranking de los baños, gracias, un saludo y sigue así.

Nice Mario ! Great vid

You were legit inspirational Matthew, thanks to you sir 🫡

[@littleastro7948]

The best thing about Trinity is that you get the possibility of featuring in a Mario Fabelo video xD

[@MarioFabelo]

I will go nuts if someone that we interview has previously watched the videos 🤯

[@cdfanto6094]

George Berkeley, Bishop George Berkeley, he was Trinity

[@MarioFabelo]

Yeah, “he was”. Now that it turns out that he was involved in some dodgy business they are not as proud of him but big name, yeah! The Berkeley Library is not known as such any more. He was cancelled almost 300 years after dying. Even the city of Berkeley in California is named after him 🤯

[@Yea418]

Im gonna apply in the future in lc1 now

[@Tryna_be_me]

Why did he ask them how they got into their college? There's obviously only one way they did; they got enough points! (Or did a PLC if their course has one but THAT'S IT).

[@MarioFabelo]

That’s exactly what my friend Alex (who films my interviews) and I thought when we filmed this video as the second video of a long interview filming day just to have more videos to upload later on during the year! But it turned out to be way more appealing and interesting than any of my other interview videos, becoming my most watched! Recently a person said hi to me on campus and told me that this video was the most helpful to her as you could see real people telling their own stories about their expectations and whether they thought they would make that year’s CAO cut, which I now realise is one of the major worries for anyone applying as every year it varies. So you seriously have a great point about how it seems an absurd video to film at first due to the CAO system being fully score oriented but inside the peel it ends up being more valuable than any of my other interviews! 🤯

[@K_EN_VisheshSaini]

I'm an Indian student, did my Bachelor's from Delhi Technological University, now I've got selected in TCD for MS in Data Science, will be going in Sep 2025, really excited about my journey!

[@MarioFabelo]

That is so cool!! Big congratulations for that!!!! Heard it is a great Master course!

[@K_EN_VisheshSaini]

@MarioFabelo Thanks for letting me know, btw great video mate! Just wanted to ask how are the placements at TCD for MS Data Science? I can't seem to find any decent information about it.

Hola! Fuiste con beca? No encuentro nada sobre el tema y yo no me puedo permitir ir sin beca 😭

[@MarioFabelo]

No, que va. Al ser de un pais de la EU el precio es de 3000€ al año gracias al Free Fees Initiative. El international fee de de 27000€ al año entonces es un descuento gigante para mi

[@luxiexd1316]

@@MarioFabelo osea, que una vez que te admiten te cubren todo menos esos 3000? Más o menos el doble de lo que costaría una Universidad de España pública? Es que estoy perdidisma jajajaj me gustaría mucho ir pq fui a verla cuando viajé a Dublín, pero no encuentro nadie español que lo explique todo bien 😭

[@MarioFabelo]

@@luxiexd1316 Sí. La universidad pública en Madrid son como 1100€ al año. Aquí son 3000€ al año. Pero lo más caro de todo es la residencia. Porque aunque tengas suerte de conseguir Trinity Hall el primer año (180€ por semana), los siguientes años tienes que buscar apartamento o residencia privada (residencias privadas van de 250-290€ por semana). Te puede salir 11,000€ al año la residencia más 3,000€ al año la universidad. Creo que existen algunas becas para estudiantes EU. Mira en www.tcd.ie/study/country/spain/ y en www.tcd.ie/study/undergraduate/scholarships-funding/index.php

To be honest I don’t know much about engineering nor the job opportunities once you complete the Bachelors Degree. However, I have a video in my channel where I spoke with two engineer friends. The video is named “Trinity College Dublin Q&A”. That may help you gathering more information!

Why would he be sleeping in the bath if he chose UCD? xD

I think he said that because his parents had gone to Trinity and, with the long tradition of TCD vs UCD thing, if he had chosen UCD first they would have been a bit fed up 😂
