* The number of applicants: A higher number of applicants generally pushes the points higher.
* The overall academic performance of applicants: A year with exceptionally high-achieving applicants will likely result in higher points.
* The specific program: While you mention "law," TCD offers different law programs (e.g., undergraduate, graduate, specialized LLMs). The points requirements vary between these programs.
To find the most accurate information:
1. Check the TCD website: The official Trinity College Dublin website is the best source for this information. Look for their admissions section, usually updated after the CAO (Central Applications Office) points releases each year. They often publish historical points data, which gives you a range to expect.
2. Consult the CAO website: The CAO (Central Applications Office) in Ireland publishes the points required for each course in previous years. This provides a historical perspective, but keep in mind that these are past figures, not guarantees for the future.
Without accessing these specific resources, it's impossible to provide a definitive answer. Expect the points to be very high, as law is a competitive course at Trinity College Dublin.
